if you choose a specific colour scheme for a certain contact's conversation window, and you use messenger plus! alerts, it would be cool if that pop-up could be coloured.

At the moment, I have about 10 contacts that i like to get pop-ups from, the rest I have turned off, and they all have a specific colour scheme so I can identify them easily, If the alert window changed colour depending on that colour scheme, it would be fantastic,

That would be pretty cool actually, I really like the idea (y)...

OpenConvo has a green and red toast, or don't you mean the toasts?

I Guess the guy who made it, knows how to color them :-D

he means that he wants specific colours for each contact, or a group of contacts, so that he can identify them

yeah, i want to be able to change the colour of the toasts for individual contacts.

I'm sure our dear Patchou could do this in Plus 3.50...
I'd like it too, as it would mean all my toasts would be black, which is how I like them.
Unless I wish to eat them, in which case they should be golden brown :D

Yeah, i got that, but I mean, that guy who made OpenConvo knows how to color them :-D, he could maybe pass this information on to patch, or maybe he already knows how to do it...

OpenConvo probably makes fake pop-ups, just like Messenger Plus! does :p

I'd nick UIFILE 921 from msnmsgr.exe and alter that to what I want it to look like.
RE: coloured alerts by saralk on 01-23-2005 at 02:21 PM

yeah, but it doesnt trick msn messenger into making a popup, it just makes the image pop-up itself.

Well, I added support for colored names in version 3.50 already, but I don't use the color in the notification windows. Would it solve your problem if I did? (the name of the contact would have a different color, not the toast itself). Note that Idoubt this will be in version 3.50, more likely in a version 3.51 as I already have way too many things on my list for the next release :).


RE: coloured alerts by saralk on 01-23-2005 at 11:52 PM

having colour in alerts would be cool, but apparantly the official conversation pop-ups change colour depending on the colour of the conversation window, but i have the official ones turned off, so i wouldnt know.


RE: coloured alerts by RaceProUK on 01-24-2005 at 12:01 PM

I think they do: mine are black, like the convo windows.
