i could store it in a registry key.
won't be hard to code.
i'll add it soon (like tonight or tomorrow).
any other feature suggestions?

I was on holidays the last two weeks, so I've only really been able to use the new version for the past 2 days. And so far the only thing missing for me is that it remembers the settings. But I'll probably think of more over time.
The only vital one that would make this addon perfect is that the taskbar doesn't flash, because my auto hidden taskbar comes in front of what I'm doing anyway, so i HAVE to open and minimize the chat even if i don't feel the message is important enough.
But that will come with the "enhancer".
Great addon though, works exactly as it should.
Thanks again

a bit of googling found http://live.msgdiscovery.com/
it appears to be a patch of sorts. or maybe even a msgplus competitor. i'm not quite sure.
one of its features is disabling msn's taskbar flash though.
try it out maybe.

cool, thanks. anybody know about this? is it any good? has it spyware or so? resource hog?

i dont like installing things i dont really know

No spyware, but it is rushed. Tends to be buggy and is unprofessionally done. You will probably find yourself installing and not liking it then uninstalling again like most users.

I've installed it and i agree with you. so far 2 features do stand out tho. sending an image from clipboard, making prt scr + the hotkey very useful. no need to paste into paint and save as jpeg, etc. and, the task bar being stopped from flashing. otherwise i don't see any use.
so ill probably delete it and wait till a plus! script stops the flashing. and SS4 will be good for screenshots.
Off-topic, i know

it has shown me how great toast messages works when the task bar is not brought to the front and flashed though. its so easy to read and chose to ignore or bring convo to front on received messages without disrupting anything.

just a minor update that fixes format code stripping

Toast Message v. 1.3
by AberNStein

what's new:
- strips format codes from toasts properly
other features:
- menu says ON or OFF depending on the script's state
- stores the state in registry
- seperate registry key for each user
- if toast message is on at sign-in it will toast to let you know
- /toastmsg is case-insensitive
- toasts when you recieve a message in a convo that's not in focus
- clicking the toast focuses the convo
- toggle on/off with the menu or /toastmsg

known issues
- the font in the toast is not a fixed width font. for example if your contact's name is all equals signs, then you'd have to truncate at 17 characters. so i've left it at 17. the message thankfully truncates itself.

cool, thanks.
i'll test it now .
and ive updated the first post. it ok like that? or want any other changes?

looks great. thanks.

i have one little feature suggestion.
instead of having "Toggle ON/OFF" in the menu option, would it be possible to have Turn ON when its off and Turn OFF when its on, or similar?
this way its easier to see if its currently on or off.
also, is the timeout changeable for toasts? so you can chose how long the toast stays on screen? with the option for it to stay on forever until the user clicks the toast. if so, then clicking one of the toasts should close all others from that contact.
