Improvements to Google Wave Notifier
I tried out the Unofficial Google Wave Notifier and liked its functionality, but wasn’t thrilled with the UI:
So I made some changes:
The icon glows blue when you have unread waves, inspired by Tweetie for Mac:
I also added a selector for choosing which browser the Notifier opens Google Wave in when you click things.
Creating this selector in Cocoa on OS X was a lot more involved than I thought going in. But at least it’s not Windows, which would have been 10 times more painful.
I also refactored the notifier to be fully asynchronous so it doesn’t block the main thread and is always responsive.
