Growl Notification System in action

Growl is a very popular and powerful Mac OS system notification used by many kind of software (Firefox, Skype, Adium, Coda, Espresso, Transmission). Some time ago I showed you how to integrate Growl notification system with REALbasic using AppleScript and .scpt file. Now there is a RBCGrowl Class that give you the same effect but it’s more inside your app. I hight recommend to using it! If you are a Premium Member you can download it for free, and if not then as REALbasic City Member you can get access to download for 2 USD (PayPal).
