Category: win32 Group: 2.0.0 beta 6 >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: nodeax (nodeax) Assigned to: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Summary: flashes too much on new message. Initial Comment: OS: Windows XP When I enable Flash window when IM is recived in Preferences->conversation the window flashes continiusly till i click on it or on the main gaim window. However it should stop flashin if I have enabled prevent applications from stealing focus -> flash taskbar button 3 times in (General -> Focus) Tweak UI of XP powertoys. So the expected behavior is when the focus is on some other window and i get a message in a minimized window the window should flash for 3 times and stop. This is not so, it keeps flashing till i click it. How do I stop this? I do not want to disable the option of flashing totally. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2007-03-26 22:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 Originator: NO Closing since there is now a feature request for this.

I tried disabling taskbar flashing and enabling "raise conversation window". It never flashed, and seemed to have no effect. I also tried enabling flashing and "raise conversation window" and it dint help. I also had another question, is there a way I can the a new message window(when I get a new IM) minimized to the taskbar(and flash) instead of the current option of to the system tray (a bubble on the gaim icon). I am facing this problem because I have autohide taslbar enabled because of which I cant see the new message but I do not want all messages to popup too... This would be a nice feature to have in future, if many people want it :) Thanks for your time again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Daniel Atallah (datallah) Date: 2007-03-20 12:37 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=325843 Originator: NO As lschiere mentioned, the "prevent focus stealing" has nothing to do with gaim's window flashing. Gaim is flashing the window and not focusing it. You're asking for a feature that doesn't exist. It *may* be possible to get the Tweak UI flash 3 times to kick in if you disable gaim's built-in taskbar flashing and use the "Message Notification" plugin to "Raise conversation window" - since that will effectively be "stealing focus." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-03-19 09:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO flashing has nothing to do with "stealing" focus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: nodeax (nodeax) Date: 2007-03-18 22:58 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1726699 Originator: YES The above behavior works with Yahoo messenger (conversation window flashes 3 times and stops) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1683373&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
