Private Messages Enhancements - Simple Additional PM Notification

This mod/hack gives you a very simple yet much more noticeable Private Message notification. When the user has any PM's a red box will be added to the header of your website notifying the user of a new PM. It has animated text which is shown in the .gif screenshot attached below.

Simple, yet very effective, i just felt my forum needed something that stood out a bit more but didn't want anything massive.

Enjoy! And please remember to mark as installed for future updates and support!

Difference is, this isn't a popup so no popup blocker will touch it.

For performance purposes, would dropping the CSS portion of the code into the additional.css template work?
