Almost 5 years ago, to be exact Well, there is currently a Roar plugin included with Spark. You can use it instead of toast popups. You can configure its popups staying time. You will find it in the Preferences.
P.S. can we keep the discussion English only? Our spam protection system doesn’t like other languages, so we have to approve every non-English message…
Which version of Spark? As Wolf is a Mac user and is the author of Roar plugin i thought it should work on Mac OS X (which OS X version btw?). I think i saw some screenshots from him of Roar on Mac. I’m not familiar with Mac OS X much, so i don’t know anything about Growl-App.
delete the users home folder \application support\spark folder. This is like the appdata folder in windows. Restart spark to recreate it, and then close spark. Now, copy over the plugins and the emoticon folders from the spark application package (right click, show package contents, go to \contents\resources\plugins.) into the home folder\applicaiton support\spark. Run Spark.
So, the Roar is still not working, but toast do not have a time setting? I would love to have just one system for all notifications (Roar preferably). But this is probably easier to achieve adding to Toast popup functionality (taking online/offline setting as example).

ok…so I couldn’t get the ROAR plugin to load on mac osx…and I coudn’t figure out why…no debug, not errors…nothing…but then I noticed that in the plugin.xml its set for windows and linux os types… added mac, and it loaded in spark, and started to work. I’m not sure if this is by design or not. did the roar plugin load in previous version of spark?
I don’t think this is by design. As I said Wolf was using it on Mac. So fixing plugin.xml is enough? Should be an easy fix. Make a PR (or i can do this) and we will have a build for testing.
with my virtual mac it was enough! I’ll go ahead and make a pr. I noticed a path issue with the growl plugin as well, so I’ll submit a PR for that too (although I don’t have growl, so I have no way of testing)
