Title:
  feature request : more user-control of visuals

Status in “notify-osd” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Although it is understandable that you would establish a default or
  standard of sorts for on screen notifications -- I think you will be
  better served if you facilitated more control by the user of its
  visual presentation.

  In fact, you'd be better off in the long run if you replicated this
  project in unity terms : http://growl.info/screenshots.php

  That's right - essentially port or transliterate to unity the Growl
  project.  With that approach users get: the ability to fine tune how
  my gui notifies me of events by criteria of my own choosing, and in a
  style of my own choosing, according to my specific use case.

  Frankly, there is no real way for the standards creators to ever
  adequately anticipate my precise needs, though I agree they should at
  least provide a default to fall back upon.  Also, what attracted me to
  linux in the first place was the ability to customize presentation of
  the desktop environment, etc.

  So, you need neither chaos nor a straight jacket to address this area
  of the gui beautifully.  Requested : Port Growl :)

  Thanks
