A more intrusive notification plugin is something that could certainly be written, but I'm not aware of one offhand. I guess I don't tend to miss IMs, and I haven't personally seen the need for such a thing. With the Message Notification plugin set to Flash the window, and the notification removal set to "Remove when conversation window receives click", the window will flash a few times and then remain highlighted until I acknowledge it. -D _______________________________________________ Support@pidgin.im mailing list Want to unsubscribe?
