Really nice smooth animation. It would be nice if the alerts appeared in the centre of the screen though... I find that jerking my eyes up to the top of the screen and then back down to what I was looking at quite intrusive.

Ideally you could specify an HTML element to place the notification near, and then pass whatever element the user activated to trigger the notification. Or you could specify target coordinates, and compute the desired location yourself. Both of those ought to use optional parameters, though; defaulting to center seems reasonable.

Pretty slick, animation-wise. If I could make one design-layman suggestion...the thick, black border belies the unobtrusiveness of the plugin. Maybe a lighter, thinner border would be a better fit for the use-case of this plugin?

Making the border any less obtrusive might make the notification blend into the page too much.

HALP! Does anyone know of a jQuery plugin that has notifications like they do on OSX. For example, when you raise the volume or mute you see that rounded transparent square? Is there something like that for the web?
