If you haven’t tried Growl yet, I strongly encourage you to do so.
What is it, you ask? It’s an open-source centralized notification system for Mac OS X applications, allowing applications to have consistent, non-interfering notifications that are fully user-customizable with very little effort. And it supports a display plugin architecture which means that if one person creates a new display for Growl notifications, all applications can benefit. Only a small number of applications currently support Growl, but that number is growing.
One of the really nice things about Growl is the level of developer support it has. It’s possible to use Growl from Cocoa, Carbon, python, perl, tcl, and AppleScript, and there’s nothing to stop bindings for other languages from being created.
Anyway, if you want to see some docs or screenshots, just head on over to their web site
