Transparency does not work without compositing which is still broken...
As for the desing... The panel is too dark and does not fit the bright
Nodoka theme we use as default. Also uses glossy look, which is
inconsistent with nodoka. The toolip looks nice, might use more
roundness in the corners, personally I'd use same as is set for the GTK
widgets. The gradient could be used more consistently with Nodoka but
the way it is now is OK. I'd perhaps make the "bubble-connector"
asymmetric the current one looks a little strange.

Would be good if you sketched a real-world notification like Package
blahblah has been updated, or You have new message in your Inbox with
icon, buttons, timer and left stripe included to see how the final
design would look like.
