Apple Newbie

Google has recently released a Gmail Notifier for Mac OS X. It requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above. This means Panther onwards.

One nifty feature about the Gmail Notifier is it has full support for Applescript and Cocoa Bundles in Objective-C, which means you can write plugins for it.

What’s great is someone has released a plugin that makes the GMail Notifier work with Growl.

In case you don’t know what Growl is, do you remember the grey overlay icons which appear on your screen whenever you adjust your volume or monitor brightness? Growl is a tool that allows any program to display such notifications. Of course it isn’t just limited to that kind of look. It can be customised too.

Check them out today!
