Cross platform notification popups, similar to "Growl" on OSX, "Toasts" on Windows, and "Notifications" on Ubuntu.

This small library can display notifications on any screen, in any corner.

Primary Features:

1. Can specify which screen
2. Can specify which corner, center is also possible
3. If no location is specified, it will show on whatever screen the mouse is on.
4. Duration timeouts, with progress indicator on notification
5. Light or Dark themes
6. Can close via close button or clicking on notification body
7. Can show/hide the close button
8. Can register a callback for when a user clicks on the notification body
9. Animates to a collated position if multiple notifications are in the same position
10. Bypasses the swing EDT, and now renders at a beautiful 30 frames-per-second.

• This is for cross-platform use, specifically - linux 32/64, mac 32/64, and windows 32/64. Java 6+
• You will need the images in the 'resources' directory, in addition to the normal libs.
• Note: If you want to COMPLETELY remove repainting by the swing EDT (for the entire JVM), run NullRepaintManager.install();

Customization parameters:

-ActiveRenderLoop.TARGET_FPS  (type int, default value '30')
 - How many frames per second we want the Swing ActiveRender thread to run at?
 - NOTE: The ActiveRenderLoop replaces the Swing EDT (only for specified JFrames) in order to enable smoother animations. 
  It is also important to REMEMBER -- if you add a component to an actively managed JFrame, YOU MUST make sure to call
  JComponent.setIgnoreRepaint(boolean) otherwise this component will "fight" on the EDT for updates. You can completely
  disable the EDT by calling NullRepaintManager.install()


-OS.FORCE_HIGH_RES_TIMER  (type boolean, default value 'true')
 - By default, the timer resolution in some operating systems are not particularly high-resolution (ie: 'Thread.sleep(1)' will not really
  sleep for 1ms, but will really sleep for 16ms). This forces the JVM to use high resolution timers.

 - NOTE: this option is a primary option and should set before any of the other options are set

Notify.IMAGE_PATH    (type String, default value 'resources')
 - Location of the dialog image resources. By default they must be in the 'resources' directory relative to the application
 
 
NotifyPopup.TITLE_TEXT_FONT    (type String, default value 'Source Code Pro BOLD 16')
 - This is the title font used by a notification.

 
NotifyPopup.MAIN_TEXT_FONT    (type String, default value 'Source Code Pro BOLD 12')
 - This is the main text font used by a notification.
    
 
NotifyPopup.MOVE_DURATION    (type float, default value '1.0F')
 - How long we want it to take for the popups to relocate when one is closed

There is a hard dependency in the POM file for the utilities library, which is an extremely small subset of a much larger library; including only what is necessary for this particular project to function.

This project is kept in sync with the utilities library, so "jar hell" is not an issue. Please note that the util library (in it's entirety) is not added since there are many dependencies that are not necessary for this project. No reason to require a massive amount of dependencies for one or two classes/methods.
