Better Messages
Better Messages enhances Drupal's default messages by providing a customizable popup-like notification system. You can control the appearance, animation, and placement of these messages, with options for auto-closing timers and even drag-and-drop functionality. The module aims to offer a more engaging and controlled user experience for notifications across your Drupal site.
Better Messages is a very simple module that provides "Popup-like" Drupal messages.
Better Messages intends to let you control where and how you want to see your Drupal messages! Combine different animations and override better_messages.tpl.php to create your custom look.
