iGrowl

iGrowl is a lightweight jQuery plugin that generates growl-like notifications with an emphasis on icons. Alerts are fully responsive and CSS animations are used to provide optimal performance.The plugin also includes 4 optional icon packs.

For full documentation, see iGrowl.

Features

• Elegant, clean look
• Highly customizable:
  • includes numerous options, styles and animations
  • can change defaults
  • includes animation callbacks
• CSS animations - smooth performance on all devices
• Responsive - media queries for alert size
• Icon packs included

Dependencies

iGrowl has 3 dependencies:

1. jQuery
2. animate.css
3. Optional: one or more of the 4 icon packs included - each includes its respective css and font files

• Vicons by Victor Erixon
• Feather by Cole Bemis
• Steadysets by Tommy Sähl
• Linecons by Sergey Shmidt
• You can use your own icon font - see docs for more info
• Icons are completely optional; iGrowl functions perfectly fine without icons

All icon packs have been compiled using Icomoon app.
