A bubble notification tool for Windows that doesn't require running a daemon like Growl or Snarl?

Question

Something like CocoaDialog's Bubble Control is exactly what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, the cross-platform port (wxCocoaDialog) doesn't implement that bubble feature.

ToasterBox looks suitable, but I'd prefer a more compact solution which doesn't require keeping Python and WxPython around.

Answer 1

Can you use .Net? Investigate the NotifyIcon control.

Answer 2

How about Snarl?

Answer 3

There's an Autohotkey script called Notify(), which turned out to perfectly fit my needs.
