# <a name='description'></a>DESCRIPTION

This package provides a low\-key, unobtrusive window for alerts and notifications
from Tk applications that briefly appears in the upper\-right hand corner of the
screen\. Modeled after the "Growl" framework on Mac OS X, the window fades in and
out on platforms that support such effects, and appears and disappears on other
platforms\.

  - <a name='1'></a>__::notifywindow::notifywindow__ *msg* *img*

    Posts the toplevel notification window with the "msg" string, which should
    not exceed 40 characters, and an optional image, which should be 16x16
    pixels\.

  - <a name='2'></a>__::notifywindow::demo__

    Simple demo that illustrates how the package works\.

# <a name='section2'></a>ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

notifywindow was inspired by the Growl notification package for Mac OS X, but
shares no code with that project whatsoever\.

# <a name='section3'></a>Bugs, Ideas, Feedback

other problems\. Please report such in the category *notifywindow* of the
