iPhonesque: Growl style inspired by the iPhone

iPhonesqueWhether you love or hate the iPhone, it is almost a given that you only have kind words for the beautifully-designed user interface. John Gruber points us to Matthew Robertson’s iPhonesque, a new style for Growl, the popular systemwide notification system for Mac OS X, that closely resembles the notification dialog box of the iPhone OS.

It comes in eight different variations, primary among which are the standard, light and mini variants. The standard version is a pixel-to-pixel copy of the iPhone’s dialog box, the mini is a slightly smaller version of the same, and the light version, which is the one I now use, is a soft and bright variant of the mini.

All of them are beautiful styles and a welcome change from the defaults; they definitely get my vote.
