Well, i just started using contact on desktops.. and it should also blink with that orange light as they do in the taskbar.. because then,i could enable the windows feature of "Group similar taskbar buttons" and still see who answers on my convo windows.. because i have them on desktop! is there any way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Sounds very possible to do, very good idea , i'd like to see it added

Ditto, but whats the point if you have a window covering that part of ur desktop? it will flash in the taskbar anyway, where you can always see it

There wouldn't be any window covering anything up though.

What Fredzz means is that the contacts on desktop background, or text or whatever, flashes also together with the window in the taskbar.

A use for this can be when the taskbar is hidden, or when you have dual monitors and only looking at one moni (the one without the taskbar, but with the desktop contacts), etc... etc...

It is very well possible to do.

And because Patchou loves your avatar, he will certainly add it to his long to-do list

don't be so impatient though, this forum gets a lot of postings and people aren't always online 24/7

I know what he ment. i mean say ur using internet explorer, fullscreen, and u get a message.....oyu wont be able to see your desktop, thus being unable to see the contact on desktop thus being unable to see it flashing

Oh, I see what you mean... well the point would be it is usefull in all other cases

yeah, well it's not always you are using internet explorer with full screen .. and for some windowblinds skins, like one im using, the blinking on the taskbar,we cant barely see it, and i also have the window sounds disabled, so its kinda hard to check..

I keep all my "desktop contacts" right over the start menu, and they're set as "Always on top", so that would really help

Sorry about that! Ahah my avatar! Patchou likes it..   (lol)

This would really help me out too...

ive been looking for something to keep my chat window always on top aswell but cant seem to find anything, so contacts on desktop does the job for now.

But if i can see when they send a message that would be very usful..

Basicly i play allot of online games, and the game is obviously run in full screen, knocking off the taskbar. when using contacts on desktop, with always on top i can see when users log in and so on, but not when they try to send me messages...

Having it blink or flash would be very usfull.

Any news on this cool feture?

that would be cool.

i know this sounds far fetched but when playing online games there is ussually a way to chat between players and the chat apears in white writing ussually on the left. would there be a way to allow one chat to be displayed in this way, using a button to start chattinb in the way that the game does without leaving the game which can cause death

No... that is, firstly, totaly out of scope of Plus!. And second, that would be different for each possible game...
