Xfce4-notifyd themes [solved]

I was wondering if anyone knew how to change the theme/look of notifyd, or at least a place to start looking. The most I could find was a faq saying it inheirits it's appearance from the current GTK theme, but that doesn't seem to be correct...

The default in xfce4.4 looked good, but the new one not so much.

They introduced an option to change the theme, but can't find a way to add more (or more to add...), and the defaults are no good (ZOMG-PONIES! is close, but not quite what I'd like ;] )

edit:

Finally, I was able to figure it out, turns out it's simply a gtkrc file under /usr/share/themes/(theme name)/xfce-notify-4.0

now to fool around with these settings to get something less ugly

edit edit: I feel stupid, the readme in the source states this... plus they suggest putting it under $HOME/.themes/THEMENAME/xfce4-notify-4.0 which makes a lot of sense.
