Growl ReviewExellent - Version: 1.1, 9/9/2007 05:24PM PST

Very effective control panel based utility.(even FREE!!) Sometimes I miss notifications dialogue boxes or beep for some reasons, however, Growl helps me not to miss them. Several options let you control the level or design of notification's appearance. The only distraction is just the design of icon which is in the system preference;-)

Growl CommentaryGetting Blank System Preference screen ... - Version: 1.1, 9/9/2007 01:03PM PST

BradPuett
I installed version 1.1 yesterday (updating the previous version) and, right before the Installation finishes, it launched the System Preference screen with Growl selected ... However, the screen seems to stall with the message "Growl Loading ..." in the title bar. After waiting 15-20 minutes, I rechose the Growl preference and it displayed a blank screen. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but with the same results.

After choosing the "Show All" button, I receive the following error messages in my System log:
... /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences: Failed to create window context device
.../Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences: CGWindowContextCreate: failed to create software delegate.


In my Console log, in addition to the 2 messages above appearing, I receive 2 other error messages:
... System Preferences[2280] _initWithWindowNumber: error creating graphics ctxt object for ctxt:100831, window:0
... System Preferences[2280] CGPixelAccessLock failed!


Please let me know how to fix this issue, since I've grown quite used the Growl notifications popping up!! Thanks!

Growl ReviewExcellent - Version: 1.1, 9/9/2007 12:10PM PST

Useful on its own, and makes good apps better. The enhancements to the interface take a little getting used to, but they're executed well.
