Hello, I am replying on a old post because this seems the only tread with the subject I would like to ask a question about.
I can't find a edit button in ichat version 5.0.3 to edit a event. I have selected the event: received message and there I can: play sound, repeat the sound with a checkbox (on/off) moving symbol in doc (not important I think) execute apple script (I don't have one to read incoming messages) announce event: is checked but I think this should only say something like: "you have a new message" and then : some controls to adjust the volume. So, how can I edit that event or which script to I need? Thanx alot for your answers, best regards, William Windels Op 18-jun-2010, om 01:38 heeft Chris Westbrook het volgende geschreven: > You have to go to preferences with command comma, interact with the toolbar, > go to events, find the event you want to modify and click edit.
