hi. i'd like to see the ability to make custom @windows flash like normal windows (i.e. be able to right-click on them and choose "Flashing" [and beeping?]), so when text is added to them while mirc is minimized the mirc button blinks in my taskbar (or system tray icon). the -h parameter for /aline is close, but not as attention-getting as the regular flash function.

i'd also like to see the ability to turn logging on by default for custom windows. maybe make another parameter for the /window command that enables/toggles logging for the window on a per-window basis?

the Feature Suggestions section of the forum should really be saved for suggesting features that do not already exist.

Try /help /flash

Syntax is:

/flash -switch <windowname> <text>
i'm assuming you know how to use that in a script, if you know how to create custom windows...

close, but not quite what i'm looking for. if mirc is not minimized, but not the current application either (i.e. i have browser windows over it), the mirc taskbar button/tray icon won't flash :|

I agree with this suggestion, and it is a valid one.

/echo has -f (flash) and -b (beep) flags, but they are useless a custom windows unless Flash and Beep settings can be applied to these windows. I dont see a reason why @windows cannot share the same menu of options and toggles that channels have.

Desktop : All windows have.
On Top : All windows have.
----------
Agent : Channels/Queries/Chat have. Status/Custom do not, but could.
Background : All windows have.
Buffer : Channels/Queries/Chat/Status have. Custom should.
Logging : All windows have.
Position : All windows have.
Spacing : Channels/Queries/Chat/Status have. Custom could.
Timestamp : Channels/Queries/Chat/Status have. Custom should. (/echo -t)
----------
Editbox... : Channels have. Status/Query/Custom should.
Events... : Channels have. Status/Query/Custom do not.
Font... : All windows have.
Nicklist... : Channels have. Status/Query do not. Custom should. (side-listbox)
----------
Beeping : Channels/Queries/Chat have. Status/Custom should. (/echo -b)
Flashing : Channels/Queries/Chat have. Status/Custom should. (/echo -f)
Track Urls : Channels/Queries/Chat have. Status/Custom do not (undecided).
