This module hooks into the D6 theme registry to override the core message display.

The purr messages, in their default state, look similar to Growl messages 
on OS X and float in their own jquery based windows. The module makes use
of the purr jquery function created by Net Perspective: http://net-perspective.com/

Dependencies: Libraries API
------------------------------------------------------
Install:

Download the module and untar into your site's modules directory. Next you'll
need to download the jquery code from:
http://jquery-purr.googlecode.com/files/jquery-purr0-1-0.zip
and place it in your libraries directory. If you don't have a libraries
directory you'll need to create it. e.g. /sites/all/libraries
------------------------------------------------------
Usage:

Simply install the module and the core message system will be overridden.
If javascript is turned off the messages revert to the usual core ones.
There is an admin page at /admin/settings/purr which allows you to change
various settings. A default set has been included to give you a start.
------------------------------------------------------
Customisation:

To customise the display of the messages copy the folder called 'purrcss'
from the module's folder and place the copy in your theme folder.
You can then make adjustments to the copied purr.css and images as you see fit.
------------------------------------------------------
Known issues:

IE6 & 7 aren't able to fade pngs with alpha so the code checks to see
whether IE is being used and also for the existence of the setting:

usingTransparentPNG:true.

In which case it simply shows and hides the messages rather than using
the gradual fade technique. Not as pretty but hey, its IE after all.
