[Growl] iPhonesque — ala the dialog box on iPhone
iPhonesque is a Growl style imitating the "pop in" dialog box on the iPhone.
Variations
Variations of colour can be controlled two ways:
If you want to apply a variation to all your growl popups:
• Double-click on the colour you want from the zip to install.
• In Growl's preferences, in System Preferences, under the Display Options tab, choose iPhonesque (colour) as Default Style.
To adjust variations on a per-app-basis:
• Double-click on iPhonesque.growlstyle from the zip to install the default set.
• In Growl's preferences in System Preferences, click the Applications tab, then specific app you want to customize, then Configure.
• Change the priority:
— Very low – Black variant
— Moderate – Duller blue, ala iPhone
— Normal – Aqua
— High – Pulsing red
— Emergency – Full power!
Updates
• 24 Jan: Fixed mid-text clipping bug
• 25 Jan: Top border sharper; icon getting slightly clipped at bottom
• 26 Jan: Added mini versions (with flexible height.) No pulsating, yet.
• 28 Jan: New 'Light'-glassy version. Uses FF DIN.
• 28 Jan: Fixed: Growl was added its own shadows on top of mine, making them too dark.
Enjoy!
If there are any coders who know how to make a custom transition for Growl notifications (I was thinking the "pop-in" effect, like on the iPhone) then please contact me!

Growl color variations aren't displaying after I change the priority under the application it still displays black. Under Growl black is displayed next to the name, is there a particular one I should have installed for the other colors?
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. The preview looks great, can't wait to see the blue on my screen vice the black one.
iPhonesque.growlstyle (the default one) has the colours.
My logic was: if you installed the black one, priorities of "normal" would be black by default. So if you were to change the priority to "moderate", which is lower, why would it turn a brighter blue? So Black has Verylow: black; Moderate: black; Normal: black; High+Emergency: Red.

Is there any way to center it on the screen?

Re: [Growl] iPhonesque — ala the dialog box on iPhone
Cool! Was wondering if you could also add an option to position it in the middle of the screen? I prefer my notifications in the center but if you can't that's alright, though it'll be great if you could!
Thank you!

Growl can't do it with HTML/CSS-based growl styles. Bezel's able to do it because it's an Objective-C/Cocoa app, of which I have no clue about.

Re: [Growl] iPhonesque — ala the dialog box on iPhone
Just wanted to let you know about this, I'm having a problem where the images in the notification are pixel-y. There were a couple times they popped up clear, but then they seemed to mess up again after that.
