Delphi: Alternative to JEDI Desktop Alert (balloon)

Is there a good analogue/equivalent to JEDI Desktop Alert (a kind of a balloon in the right bottom corner of a desktop)?

Balloon hint cannot be showed like a stack (a new hint is on the top of others), but JEDI Desktop Alert can do it.

May be some one knows, why does a show event of that component fire twice instead of once? :)

Thank your for suggestions!

  • TMS Software has TAdvAlertWindow, an "Outlook 2003, 2007 style alert window".

    TAdvAlertWindow

    It's a commercial component, available separately or as part of the TMS Component Pack.

    Update: The above image was taken from TMS website. As Andreas has pointed the font is not antialiased (it's a bitmapped font, probably MS Sans Serif). I've tested the trial version of the component and setting the font to Tahoma works as expected:
