Should we ask if we can ship this with Growl?

It has a lot of variants, if we do so I'd rather we choose a specific
one to include or bundle them into a more cohesive unit that's slimmer
than 1.6 MB zipped.

I don't think the larger variants are compact enough to ship, but the
smaller ones are nice. The ones with the custom commercial font
aren't something we can ship, so that cuts it down to 3 variants.

Of course, with the reply I just sent to Evan's other email, I think
we'd be fine here with the sheer amount of them (albeit, not the file
size).

I've been using this theme and it's very nice, visually. But I've
noticed that the GrowlHelperApp starts leaking memory like crazy as
pop-ups appear.

After several hours of real world usage, the Helper App grows up to a
100MB of Real Memory. Before that I used to use Bezel and and it never
leaked.

Is it a problem with Growl or a with the theme?

Thanks!

What version of Mac OS X are you using?

iPhonesque is a WebKit style. WebKit styles currently are hampered in
that there's a known memory growth issue that starting and stopping
Growl resolves.

Let's not leak every GrowlWebKitWindowView and all of its heirarchy
with every notification of a webkit-based display. This doesn't fix
all the memory leaks, but it fixes a big one.

Don't retain every image we're passed forever by setting a name for it
and then not unsetting it. This, too, doesn't appear to fix all the
leaks, but it's a step in the right direction. (WebKit displays only)

Excellent work Evan, thank you. These will be rolled into 1.1.3b2 for
testing, which I'll prepare tonight or tomorrow.

I agree, that's huge.
