I taskbar flash would be a good and simple addition to flash the taskbar when someone has posted a new message which would be good in situations where sound is muted. etc.

That way if a user is in another application with the sound muted they will know someone has replied to a message etc.

Here is a Java/Ajax function that worked for a taskbar flash for a webmail client that had a changing title bar, but I am sure this could be implemented into this project.

If you can assist with this please let me know.

function newExcitingAlerts() {
var oldTitle = document.title;
var msg = "New!";
var timeoutId = setInterval(function() {
document.title = document.title == msg ? ' ' : msg;
}, 1000);
window.onmousemove = function() {
clearInterval(timeoutId);
document.title = oldTitle;
window.onmousemove = null;
};
}
