Play a sound when HTTP blocked #47

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I always find it annoying when you're browsing the web and don't notice
that little flashing icon telling you that some content has been blocked. 
We should add an option to enable playing of a "web content blocked" sound
to make this more obvious.

We may also want to consider adding sounds for other events, such as Update
Available, and maybe even Blocking Started and Blocking Stopped.

Ideally this should hook into the Windows sound-scheme stuff, so that the
sounds can be configured through there as well as within PeerBlock.

Won't this get very annoying when you spammed with blocked HTTP? It also 
increases the 
CPU load of PB as well.

CPU load should be minimal, unless you're getting all sorts of HTTP blocks.  We 
could
also include some timing to make sure it doesn't beep for the same blocks too 
often,
and/or key off which list was blocked so that only some lists would generate 
sounds.
 And it'd be an option in any event, so you could easily disable it if you so choose.

I just thought it might be a fun little option.  After prototyping it if we 
find it's
more annoying than useful we don't necessarily need to go forward with it.  It's
definitely a low-priority idea, to come well after 1.0 is released and other 
more
important fixes/features are implemented.

Maybe having a balloon popup and sound that tells the user that its currently 
getting
hit by x IP... But definitely have an option in the task icons right click menu 
to
"Do not disturb" and a checkbox to untick these inside of the settings because 
some
users might find them annoying.

Removing 'After1.0' release-targetting.
