I've been trying to set-up some reminders, for those rare occasions when I need to do something before a given time.

It seems that I have been able to do ti using the time associated to the due date, yet, I have been unable to set-up Growl to keep the reminder in screen until I have read it.

Sometimes they show-up and I might not be in front of my desk, and then it's gone. Anyone has been able to do this?

Thanks a lot. Martin.

All Growl settings for all applications are in a Preference Pane inside System Preferences, not the application itself. In the General settings for Grow, there's a checkbox that says "Leave notifications on screen after x seconds of inactivity" where x is configurable.

Huh?

Is this a Leopard thing?

Thanks Dave, I had missed that option. I was looking within the application list it self. I will give it a try. Thanks so much...

Ifs your question if Growl is a Leopard thing? Nope... it's (in my little understanding) a notification service that many apps can leverage. For exmple Adium uses it...
