Hmm...  Cookie, what version of WLM/Windows are you using?  Maybe this is an issue with WLM 2011.

Can someone on WLM 2009 test the code and see what happens?

I do have MSG Plus!
But when I use this script, will it work to people how don't have MSG Plus?

PS. Maybe my English is bad. But I am from the Netherlands.

The script monitors received messages, so any of your contacts can interact with it, regardless of whether they have Plus! installed or not.

Bump...  Can someone on WLM 2009 please try both mine and Cookie's code? 

Cookie's code works just fine
@Whiz: your code moves the chat window downward, off the screen

Hmm, strange...  are you using WLM 2009?

I think I'll go with Cookie's code anyway, much better than mine.    If this is an issue with WLM 2011, then we can just set the X and Y values to 0, instead of the original position.  Must be something to do with child windows or something...

Edit: this isn't something to do with Plus! tabbed chats, is it? 

I've tried your code with only one chat window open and tabs disabled completely. Still, the window goes off-screen. The direction seems random though. The chat window moves off-screen in a direction that is a multiple of 45 degrees.

Does the original position of the window have any effect on the direction it moves (e.g. put it in the top-left corner and it'll move that way)?

I don't think so. I've tried various sizes and positions, it just keeps disappearing off the screen. It moves to the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Dunno if you're into physics, but it seems like an accelerated motion: it starts off slowly, then goes faster and faster (like 1/2 * a * t^2).

Okay, an update on this:

I've implemented the shake feature with a compatibility mode.  By default, it uses Cookie's code, but if that doesn't work, check the 'Broken' option to set X and Y to 0 (instead of the relative position of the window)...

Any other suggestions for the script?

Yeah, I do A-level physics so I know what you mean.    Certainly strange behaviour, though...

Here's an example of how the script works in a conversation (I've highlighted events that occur, which otherwise wouldn't be visible from a conversation alone).
