Re: Pidgin oddity

Hi Phil,

Have you tried using the Message Notification plugin that ships with
Pidgin?  (Tools->Plugins->Message Notification)  It has the option to
'flash window' and 'remove when conversation window gains focus' which for
me on Win10 keeps the taskbar displaying with a yellow/orange background.

Cheers,
Eion

Pidgin oddity

[Phil Smith III]

On one machine (my wife's), Pidgin does not keep flashing if an unread IM has 
arrived. This actually causes *me* most of the grief, because my wife will say 
"You didn't tell me [you left | you got home | you got there without dying | 
whatever] and I say "Sure I did, I IMed you" and she looks and says "Oh, it 
wasn't flashing".

 

I'm sure this isn't Pidgin's fault, but any ideas? I've Googled and tinkered 
with Windows settings to no avail.
