Stackoverflow Style Notifications in asp.net Ajax

Hi, I am trying to make an information bar similar to the one here on stackoverflow. I found the Activebar jquery plugin. But I want to be able to customize it. I want a fading effect or a semi transparent background. Can someone please help. Thanks.

Asked before quite a few times, e.g

Stackoverflow Style Notifications in asp.net Ajax

You can style the transparency via CSS/using a translucent background PNG.

Here's another one based on jQuery:

You can tweak the positioning of the bar to appear on the top instead of bottom of the brower window.

Good catch, @o.k.w. For future reference, it's better to post this as a comment and just vote to close as a dupe so we don't end up with a bunch of redundant questions on the system.

I thought so too, but I felt the need to added some info on the transparent background as well. Well, guess I can do that in my comment. Will vote to close :)

Is there a specific example you can give me like the how to put the divs on the jquery, thanks.
