O.P. Tabbed conversations - new message colour
In the next version of MsgPlusLive would it be possible to add the ability to change the color that a tab changes to when you have a new message. With grey, it is not always easy to see that you have a new message when you are currently typing in another tab. The XP Orange color that the taskbar has would be a lot more noticable.

Just a thought.
Jason.

I second this request :). At first I thought it was just my computer acting up because the taskbar would only flash once when I receieved a new message. Then noticed that the tabs did the same thing, but in grey.

Rebooted, and its still grey (and flashes once). But yes, an orange or customizable color would be quite nice :). Perhaps something to match whatever color your messenger is set to?

Agreed, sometimes I don't notice I have a message and it's really annoying, I have to tell soem of my contacts to nudge me when I don't reply 0.o

Do you all use dark convo windows? Mine are quite light, and I have no problems. Plus, they flash a medium pastel red, like my Windows theme. I guess you get grey from using the XP theme.

I think you should have a [x] sign to close the tab for every tab too

use this page: http://www.msgpluslive.net/help/registry/

or:

Color used to flash the background of tabbed chats buttons. By default, the background color of the window is used to compute a darker or lighter color. This is a COLORREF value.
