I have made a plugin based on an idea and some source code by
Ivan.
It's an plugin that let's a LED plugged to the COM Port blink when a conversation - window is opened (eg when somebody writes you).
Now you probably think 'Why this?!?'.
The anser is simple - if you are running a fullscreen game or application where you can't see the toast window or hear the sound you still see the LED blinking.
Comments are welcome.
Main functions:
- Compatible with MSN (german & english version) and ICQ Lite
- LED plugged to Com Port is flashing for about 10 seconds if a conversation window is opened
- Num Lock flashes too, so you don't have to make that led cable for the Com Port if you don't want to
(also useful for people who don't have a com port...many notebook users don't have one...)
- The name of the person messaging you is spoken using Text To Speech (SAPI 5.1)
- all settings are automatically saved and loaded at startup
- realtime visual effects
- Text To Speech can be deactivated individually
