Add visual notification on new chat message #136

Open delthas opened 9 years ago

delthas commented 9 years ago

It'd be nice if there was a way to be able to know when someone sends a message on a room. I think sound notifications might get boring real quick especially in such a software, what about a visual notification? Maybe as an optional feature, so as not to bother "listen only" guys?

Great idea, this would be v useful. Even a simple ' * ' in the window title to show unread messages (Slack uses this to great effect). Thanks for your suggestion.

I wanna know if someone chats when I'm tabbed out. Is it possible to let the menu bar button glow, like the Skype one does?

Yep. For windows I'll use this technique http://whiledeveloping.wikidot.com/flashing-taskbar

Just realised this is a dupe of #66 - closing the earlier one since this has more chat in.
