RE: Background Window
No not really but convo notifier and convo close sometimes work like that. Heres the links:

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/115-Convo-Notifier/
http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=64418&page=1

I like the second one.

Features:

    * Displays a toast message when someone starts a conversation with you.
    * Displays a toast message when someone adds you to his/her contact list.
    * Displays a toast message when someone removes you from his/her contact list.
    * When you already have a conversation window opened with the remote user, you won't get a toast message.
    * When you click the toast, a conversation window with the remote user will be opened. POSTED FROM THE THREAD
No longer here.

RE: Background Window
You can check: (code not tested)
code:
if(ChatWnd.Handle == GetForegroundWindow())
{
  // Window is on top.
}

function GetForegroundWindow()
{
  return Interop.Call("user32.dll", "GetForegroundWindow");
}

RE: Background Window
While it may work, it's not ideal. Checking the window state for a value may be more reliable.
