I tried unchecking the Visual Alerts you mentioned, and also unchecked all "bounce icon in the Dock" boxes in the Details tab. But every chat except the first one in a conversation still makes my Mac say, "Skype has new window."
Any idea how to stop this? On Wed, May 02, 2012 at 04:47:21PM -0400, Earle wrote: It is very easy to stop Skype from saying Skype has new window. Just go into preferences, then go to notifications and disable all visual alerts. You can also have Skype tell you when contacts are available by choosing the contacts available event under notifications. Then just check the box that says speak text. ---------- Earle Msn: [1][email protected] Skype, Twitter, Facebook, and Yahoo: rowdyamerican Aim: rowdyamerican28 On 2012-05-02, at 2:34 PM, Austin Seraphin wrote: e SIP phone clients, both Telephone available from the Mac app store and Blink available from [2]http://icanblink.com both work well. They sound better too. I just noticed this long thread so someone else has probably brought this up, but it drives me mad how the new Skype keeps saying "Skype has new window." every single time some kind of change happens, like someone going online. Maddening! I don't keep Skype open for that reason. - Austin On Apr 30, 2012, at 6:03 PM, Steve Holmes wrote: In addition to Skype, are there any good SIP phone clients for the Mac which are accessible? I've used Linphone on Linux from the command line but would be interested in a Mac solution if there is one. Skype may be popular but the protocol is proprietary and SIP is more universal. SIP is probably one of the best VOIP protocols out there. On 4/30/12, Kawal Gucukoglu <[3][email protected]> wrote: Ok. I have found that I can dial numbers again using the keyboard on my Mac but there is no edit field as there use to be when I first acquired the mac. Can this be brought back? Kawal.

Hopefully, this is the appropriate place to bring up my number 1 complaint with skype on the mac. When I first got my mac and installed Skype; I believe this was version 5.1 or so, the program always started in the contacts list. Ever sinve 5.3 or so, when I run the program, it starts me on something that Voiceover tells me is called Skype Home. It basicly looks like a facebook clone. Granted, it's not prohibatively difficult to navigate to a table, interract and find my contacts list and stop interracting, but I personally feel that this is something I shouldn't have to do, and it's just aggravating enough that I avoid using skype as often as possible, and only run it periodically to check for updates in hopes that this issue will some day be fixed. I've checked preferences time and again, and there simply isn't a way to configure how the program starts. To make this even more frustrating, when I ask people about id, they claim that they don't have this problem. I'd be more than happy to disconnect skype from facebook if it would fix the problem, but would rather not if I don't have to. I don't really understand the point of the favorites thing either, and miss the simplicity of the first mac version of skype I ever used. Sorry for the aimless rambling, but I hope it makes sense to someone.

This message is for Kevin Chow if he is working with Skype on the Mac with Skype Team. Hi Kevin. I have been using Skype on the Mac for a long time and when Google had the program, it worked beautifully with the Mac. However since Microsoft have bought it, it has not been very good on the Mac. The dial pad is inaccessible. Is there any way of getting Skype for Mac fixed? If there are other issues, feel free any one to say if Kevin is going to get this sorted.
