In b4, I had it set up so new incoming messages wouldn't pop up, but the tray icon would flash. I thought this was under a preference somewhere, or the Message Notification plugin. I just installed b5, and the notification happens in the tray, but it doesn't flash. Before, I could be working on something else, and I'd notice the flashing in the corner - not so much anymore. Was this a new change, or am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks, and keep up the great work!

Check Wingaim Options plugin, and Conversation tab in preferences. Also you might mean the Icon right click it and select "blink on new message" right under "mute sounds". I think the last one is what you meant, hope this helps.

Ahhhh, I found it! Right clicking on the tray icon, there's an option for "Blink on new message" that I needed to check. I don't remember if this was the same in b4 or not, but it has accomplished what I want it to - not to pop up a window when I'm in the middle of coding, but to let me know that there's a new message!

I had the same question, didn't see the new option. Wasn't mentioned in the change log or anywhere in Planet Gaim and since it was disabled by default too (should be enabled by default since all previous Gaims it was on) I had to come here to check.
Thanks for the heads up.

Is there any chance of this going back to how the plugin worked and not having the system tray icon blink if the message window for the sender is already open (i.e. the taskbar button is already flashing)?

I'm not sure what the story is on that, whether that was an intended change or not, whether we like it or not, etc. Your best bets would be to join the #gaim irc channel and ask, send mail to gaim-devel asking, or file a feature request for this. They all have different pros and cons.

I agree, the tray icon only needs to blink on hidden messages so it catches your attention. Once the chat window is open the blinking taskbar button is a much better way of notifying you of a new message in an active chat.
Also whats worse, the taskbar button and systray icon don't even blink in sync!

Just a quick observation/question....

That is a new option in beta 5, flashing was always on in beta 4.

The flashing tray icon was the default for exactly one gaim 'release' and that is 2.0.0 beta 4, prior to that it was a plugin.
Is there any chance of this going back to how the plugin worked and not having the system tray icon blink if the message window for the sender is already open (i.e. the taskbar button is already flashing)?

Yes, freaking please only blink on hidden messages!
