Hi!
Here's something MSN has needed since day one: A sound when receiving a message even when the window has focus. Will Messenger Plus support this soon?
Until recently, I was in the habit of using WIN-TAB to defocus the chat window. This placed the focus on the first taskbar button which, with the aid of a third-party app called ButtonBoogie, could be relied upon to be a chat window. Hence, when a message was received, I could hit the spacebar and refocus the window for a reply.
As you can see, I've invested a great deal of time into solving this problem. Unfortunately, Windows XP breaks compatibility with ButtonBoogie. Worse even than that, pressing WIN-TAB under Windows XP gives focus to the SECOND taskbar button, for some reason.
Therefore, my life would be made a lot easier if you just supported this very simple feature. And I reckon one or two other users would be pleased also..
I looked into writing a plugin for it, but your plugin interface seems too specialised to support it. What I'd need is a way to be notified of all incoming messages, which isn't possible currently.
If you don't want to support this feature, please point me in the direction of some tutorials on writing my own MSN plugin.
