About
A notification system you control...
Applications register notifications but ultimately you decide
which notifications should appear - and how they appear. All of
this is centralised into a single location - Snarl's
preferences - so you know where to look each time, no matter
which application it is. You can also assign different styles
and schemes to each notification.
It just works...
With Snarl running, any Snarl-enabled application you install
will automatically register with Snarl and start displaying
notifications. There's no configuration or intervention
required.
Extensible...
Support for applications can also be added through a feature
unique to Snarl: extensions. These are small modules which run
in the same process space as Snarl and allow Snarl to detect
events occuring in other applications.
Low fat...
Snarl itself uses virtually no resources on its own, and the
code required to integrate Snarl support into an application is
equally lightweight. There are no large installations - Snarl
does not use .net - and it works fine on Windows 2000 as well
as XP and Vista.
