i dont really understand the script. ive downloaded it, i know how to switch on/off, but what does it actually do?

it has to do something with a toast popup, like when someones getting online.

is it when you post a message to someone, that the send message will appear as a toast thingie?

i know, this is very noobish. but this is my first time im related to scripting anyway... and im not englishXD please answer my Question.

I really like this script - it's really useful cause now when i get useless messeges i don't have to get that window in focus. And it also makes recieving messages feel more instant.

One suggestion - would it be possible to change the title of the toast message to something like "New Message" - or does the toast title automatically have the script's name? - EDIT: i found out how to do that myself.

Thanks alot AberNStein.
It's great. Gonna use it for a while now and if anything pops up that i think would add to it ill let you know. but sounds perfect . all we need now is the ability to make the task bar stop flashing .

Thanks again.

Very nice done!
But I think I prefer Message Scroller since it will stay on the screen.

The Toast Message will not stay and if you are not sitting in front of the computer you will never see the text.

Perhaps some kind of toggler could fix that.

Thats kind of its point though. For me anyway. When im sitting at my pc, and i dont want to have to open conversation windows that arent important to me, i can just continue working.

i'll fix the displaying of newline chars (read: i'll delete them in the toasts) then up a new version. btw it's now on the scripts site http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/index.php?act=view&id=81

edit: something's not working. i've tried Message = Message.replace('\s',' '); and i've tried that with \n and \r too. how do i strip newline and carriage returns?

could you improve it, cause when people have  along nickname, I only see the beginning of the nick and  ...

so it's useless that way, can you make it appear more the name and more the text oar at least more teh text please ?

thanks

@AberNStein: The answer is in the forums to the newline carriage return thingy. Its in a topic from the last few days... I know that.

@tinpiliycfa: As far as I'm aware it is due to a limit in the size of a nickname.

so we can't do it ?

@tinpiliycfa: Sorry, I misunderstood the problem. But what I say still stands... There is a limit to how much information can be on a Toast... But perhaps the nick could be trunciated when it is longer than a certain amount, displaying more of the text... So yes it could be done Just have to wait for the Author.
