Orange Flash with tabs by basad on 10-09-2005 at 04:43 PM

Hello everybody !
I have a problem with Messenger Plus tabs. When I got a message, the orange light on my task bar is on ONLY if the discussion is active. If I receive a new message from another contact the window isn't orange, I miss some mess with that.
Is there something I can do ?

Thanks,

Baptiste

PS : Sorry for my poor English !

It was purposely made like that... There is a 15 second delay when one of the background conversations becomes active. After 15 seconds it jumps to the front.

It will flash, there's just a 15 second delay, after that, it will also automatically bring that conversation to the front.

Unless you switch off that option (Plus > Preferences > Instant Messages > Tabbed Chats > "Auto-activate chat windows with unread messages"), but this would mean there will be no more taskbar flashes for unfocused chats. If you are experiencing no flashes at all you may wanna check if that setting isn't disabled.

You can also change the delay if you wish to do so, either manually or with Plus! Tweaker (this program changes the registry settings for you). The regkey you're looking for is called GroupAutoSwitchDelay.

To download Plus! Tweaker or for more information about this regkey see the official help page of Registry Tweaks
