This component is dedicated to notify users. When a notification appears, a window slides in the bottom right corner on the screen.

The user can close this window by pressing the red cross. After about 5 seconds, the notification window fades out.

3 colors set (called themes) are available : YELLOW (default), BLUE or GRAY.

The code is pretty simple :

Notifier.notify("New Mail message", "Laurent CARON (lcaron@...)<br/><br/>Test message ...");
Notifier.notify("New Mail message", "Laurent CARON (lcaron@...)<br/><br/>Test message with blue theme...", NotifierTheme.BLUE_THEME);

4 methods are available :

• public static void notify(final String title, final String text)
• public static void notify(final Image image,final String title, final String text)
• public static void notify(final String title, final String text, final NotifierTheme theme)
• public static void notify(final Image image,final String title, final String text, final NotifierTheme theme)

You can change the image or the theme.

The text can contains some pseudo-HTML tags for formatting :

• <br/> for adding a line break
• <i>...</i> to render text in italic
• <u>...</u> to render text in underline
• <b>...</b> to render text in bold
• <size>...</size> to increase/decrease text size. You can use the following syntaxes : <size=10> (10px), <size=+4>, <size=-4>
• <color>...</color> to change foreground color. You can use the following syntaxes : <color=#FFCCAA> (HTML color code), <color=9,255,10> (RGB values) and <color=aliceblue> (HTML color code)
• <backgroundcolor>...</backgroundcolor> to change background color. You can use the following syntaxes : <backgroundcolor=#FFCCAA> (HTML color code), <backgroundcolor=9,255,10> (RGB values) and <backgroundcolor=aliceblue> (HTML color code)
