thanks, I hope it'll be done

the carriage return stripping is working.
how many characters would you like me to display before i truncate?
right now it truncates the nickname after 30 characters and the message after 90 minus the nickname's length.
i'll play around with the numbers to find the maximum.
the nickname's not gonna be more than one line. should it truncate and add "... says:" or just "..."?

i Don't know, maybe the  5 first letters of the name + says + messages

5 or six letters of the name + says: + message sounds pretty good

hey, be good if when the toast pops up, if you could click on it and it opens that chat up, cos I know when I have tabbed chats up, if someone says somethig I wanna read, i need to scroll through to find them again, but if you could click on the toast to bring that chat up, be cool.

if you click on the toast it does bring the chat up. make sure you're using the most recent release.
p.s. i'll see if it works with tabs. i hadn't thought of that.

hello everyone

I want to display smiles etc. in the toast window. it is possible? and how can I do it with scripts?

Short answer: If it doesn't do it already, it isn't possible to do it using a script.

i've tested it and i can verify that clicking on a toast does indeed bring up the tab in question. i'm quite surprised actually.
i'm just trial and erroring to find the maximum number of characters i can get into a toast. i'll either have an update posted tonight, or when i get back (i'm going away for a week tomorrow).

grr. i should have realised this way earlier. 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.
newest version is attached. it's much better than the message scroller. lol. two different solutions to the same problem. use whichever you want.

is there a way to make it remember whether i switched it ON or OFF? instead of having to turn it on every time i log off or restart or so?

i wish the task-bar could be stopped from flashing!!!
