On Mac OS X the Growl library (http://growl.info) provides quite nice notification pop-ups.

They appear below each other in user-configured corner (top right by default) and fade after a short period.

I think similar approach would probably work better than popping notifications up from the panel like they do in WinXP.

Yeah, I am fully intending to color code the bar on the left to mark certain types of notifications. Important ones have red etc.. The left bar also has a function to work as a hide timer for the notification, like a hourglass. Check the other blog entries of mine.

Also there is this spec being written at galago.sf.net

Nice idea not to jump the title. Or, a smooth transition should be made, probably with an animation.

Also, if originally on a top panel, should not need to put album info over title.
Now, what about putting album info on the left or on the right of the title?

Some kind of inteligency wolud be useful. I have notification area in upper panel, so popup content should be reversed — title on top, optional content lower.
