We’ve just found the winner of the best growl theme contest no one organised. It’s simple, not distracting, and is pixel perfect.
King:
As great as Growl is, I wanted a new theme. Since Growl themes are webkit and CSS2/3 based, I figured what the heck, I’ll make one of my own. Best news is I’m making it publicly available for you too!
And we thank you for that. What are you waiting for! Go download!

I prefer the Mono theme. http://fixedgear.ca/#mono
As always Rogie makes some of the nicest little UI pieces around. I’d love it if he could incorporate some of the animations and effects found in the very similar Mono growl theme http://fixedgear.ca/
I highly recommend checking out the Growl-Theme mono from http://fixedgear.ca/ . It’s quite similiar to HUD, just adds a nice smooth animation.
We’ve covered Mono in a previous article, but I still think King’s theme wins.
No, I’m with Mono too…
Way more elegant!
Check it out everyone…
I agree with BP, HUD is just a bit better. Mono’s slide-in effect is cool the first dozen times, but HUD’s quick pop-in feels just slightly more mature, efficient, and purposeful than the extraneous iCandy of Mono (see, I make joke, is funny, no?).
However, it’s REALLY splitting hairs between the two as they’re so similar. Try both and use what you like.
