 Xfce4-notifyd uses Gtk+'s standard theming system. By default it will use the
 "app-notification" or "osd" classes of your Gtk+ theme. If you want to override

-"#XfceNotifyWindow" widget name or you can either create a separate standalone
-theme (see the examples provided, e.g. "ZOMG-PONIES!").

-you've come up with a cool theme, feel free to send it to me, and I'll be happy
-to include it in the next release. For themes shipped with xfce4-notifyd, I
