When minimized and mIRC is in the system tray, the mIRC icon keeps flashing green (as it's supposed to when there's activity in channel/query). The only problem is, when I go to check the only channel I'm in, no one has said anything. It just keeps blinking. I'm using mIRC 6.21
I believe, although not positive, that this setting also applies to any messages received in your status window.
The tray icon displays the animation for the current active
server connection, same goes for the Connect toolbar button,
and File menu.
So yes, even in the status window but i can reproduce this.I'm not sure how mirc consider there is activity or not
I agree with RusselB, any activity in your status window will make the tray icon blink. However, i am not sure of this and have not tried to reproduce it.
