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!

(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.

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. _______________________________________________ [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
