You could use a tk_messageBox.

I should have asked for the desktop as well. KDE has knotify4 and kdialog.

Hi Strobel
Yes i am using KDE but my application user may use GNOM as well.

Heller, How tk_messageBox will solve this purpose? Actually i want a notification type box which is rectangular in shape but having a bird peak like shape at bottom.

like below

Hello S,

I cannot load the image. Do you mean the notifcation that pops up in the right lower corner in kde or right upper corner in gnome?

I don't know the name but there is an extension for linux floating around. Similar as for windows the winico package.

Check the wiki and look for "system tray" or something like that.

Hi Hae

Thanks for you suggestion. This is somewhat i want in my application. system tray is creating an icon/notification on my desktop. I want it to create notification in my application only.

BWidget BubbleHelp or tklib Bubblehelp looks quite similar. Only the
lower part is missing.
Maybee, you may take the display code and do your own shape.

You may use a transparent toplevel and draw this shape onto it.
At least, I have seen that that works...

You can invoke the native desktop notifications service via dbus.

I found two complementary packages for your task:
- tktray http://wiki.tcl.tk/5972
- systray ftp://ftp.atmsk.ru/pub/tkabber/tksystray.tar.gz

The http://http://tkabber.jabber.ru is a good resource for such packages.
