Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Anders Biehl Norgaard (anders_biehl) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Gaim going to foreground as only notification Initial Comment: It is extremely annoying that the only way I get notified of events is that gaim goes to the foreground "Raise window on event" can't you blink the toolbar as Messenger does in windows? Gaim 0.71 Kde 3.13 Gentoo 1.4 Thank you Anders ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-17 15:40 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2003-11-12 19:45 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 the appearing on your screen is optional. the taking the forgeground is a function of using focus follows mouse (i'm betting you use focus follows mouse at least). the blinking is only possible on window managers that support the URGENT hint. not many do. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Anders Biehl Norgaard (anders_biehl) Date: 2003-11-12 15:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=498448 Thanks for the tip - I think I'll try the plugin. Still - I find the windows blinking feature quite unobtrusive (compared to a GAIM window appearing on my screen - and taking foreground ; ) I think the GNOME desktop has a blinking feature - and I'll start hoping for KDE to get one :-) -Anders ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kevin (static_earth) Date: 2003-11-12 14:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=789094 Why don't you give this plugin (Popup Notify) a try: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=782047&group_id=235&atid=390395 It popups up a small window at anycorner of the screen and notifies you of a few simple events, such as buddy logon/logoff, buddy goes away/comes back, buddy goes idle/unidle. The window timeout can be set manually. BTW, the KDE panel doesn't have a toolbar blinking feature. None that I know of anyway. Just my opinion: I find any kind of onscreen blinking to be quite annoying (e.g., flash based advertisements <--- i hate those things soooo much). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kevin (static_earth) Date: 2003-11-12 14:26 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=789094 Why don't you give this plugin (Popup Notify) a try: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/? func=detail&aid=782047&group_id=235&atid=390395 It popups up a small window at anycorner of the screen and notifies you of a few simple events, such as buddy logon/logoff, buddy goes away/comes back, buddy goes idle/unidle.
