I bet that’s it: I had that configured on my machine, not on hers (I set mine 
up so long ago that I’d completely forgotten about it). Thanks—Eion saves the 
day again!

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

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.
