win7-notifications

Send Windows 10 styled notifications on Windows 7.

TODO:

• Move old notifications above new ones.
• Sounds
• Shadows
• Change close button color when mouse hovers.
• Callbacks for when close button or body of notification is clicked.
• Account for taskbar size and position
• Animations
