the browser notifications are cool, but i'd like to be able to get notifications sent right to growl so i can style and configure them along with everything else i get notified about.

i installed an extension that converts chrome notifications to growl [1], which helps a bit, but it has only one notification style for every notification from every website, so i can't style it to match jukebox.

ideally i'd like to see album art as the icon along with artist and song sent to a specific notification.

it looks like this is possible via javascript with a flash swf shim to bridge to GNTP.

here's an example implementation we can borrow from:

(yes the example works on mac, despite the URL - give it a shot)
