Do you know which library Firefox 3 uses for the "download completed" info?

Question

It's the window that shows up when you set showAlertOnComplete = true.

about:config
browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete = true

I want to add notification messages in my applications and I need to find a good open source library for that task.

Answer 1

There are a few ways of doing notifications. In terms of open source libraries, there are a number of system-wide notification schemes, such as Snarl (Windows), Growl (Mac) or Mumbles (Linux).

If you to work only with what is already on the platform, there are some related questions on SO around the Windows API for notifications:
