Anyone done this yet? I'm interested as currently if you have a chat open with someone, but minimized - and they try chatting to you, it doesn't trigger any notification?

it does trigger a notification but i had to edit my css so that the notification blinked black to white so it stands out more but it should really be done out the box as well the messages do not go to your inbox and if you refresh the page the notification is gone this is hurting our members socializing BC this is a huge issue you cannot socialize without notifications

Agreed.


Out of curiosity, would you share the CSS you put in for the flashing?

Joseph
Joseph Apr 25 '13
yes I will have to look it up I use a lot of custom css
Joseph

ok in this code just set the color you want the message to blink this has been tested with macabre theme only but should work 


div.ow_chat_dialog.ow_chat_new_message {background: #000000;}

Joseph,


Have you noticed that it changes the colour of the whole conversation window if you leave it open but inactive, and receive a message.


How would you suggest just making the header flash? :)
