- PopUp - Frequently Asked Questions
-===============================================================================
-
-Hi everybody,
-this is a collection of frequently asked questions: please read them, all of
-them.
-99% of the times I receive questions which already have an answer here. :-)
-
-I will try to explain myself easily, so that NON-SPEAKING ENGLISH users will
-understand too.
-
-I last updated this file when I released version: 1.0.1.9
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.1.9] Q: The plugin is good, but I don't see the popups when a message
-arrives.
-
-A: This is normal, because PopUp plugin makes the popups only when a plugin
-asks for them.
-NewStatusNotify plugin asks PopUp plugin a popup when a contact changes his
-status.
-NewEventNotify plugin asks PopUp plugin a popup when a message, file or url is
-received.
-WinampNotify does it when a new song is played in your Winamp 2.x/3.x
-MSN does it when you receive an hotmail message.
-EmotIcon does it when your received message contains an emoticon it recognizes.
-NotifyAnything lets you configure the popups on many circumstances. :-)
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.1.3] Q: What's the deal with "Concurrent Popups"?
-
-A: with this option ON, PopUp will create a new thread for every popup which
-needs to be created.
-The main effect on this is that fade and "animate" effects can happen at the
-same time on multiple plugins, instead of animating one at a time.
-If you use fading/animations, I suggest you keep it ON.
-If you don't use them, you don't need it. You can turn it OFF if you wish.
-It will cause no harm, though, so it's ON by default.
-
-IMPORTANT: don't play "ON-OFF-ON-OFF" with popups on your screen. If you do,
-your Miranda could be closed in the place of a popup, and you'll lose any
-unsaved changes.
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.4] Q: I've checked "AM/PM", but I don't get any AM/PM, what's wrong?
-
-A: Check your international settings (your locale). There should be an option
-page where you can configure the AM and PM symbol, and maybe they're "void" by
-default, as it was on my machines ^__^ so just write "AM" and "PM" or whatever
-you like.
-
-Q2: "I don't want to mess around with my OS! Make them translatable!"
-
-A: You're not going to *mess around* with anything. You only need to
-*configure* your OS which *IS NOT* properly configured by *DEFAULT*.
-Since AM/PM is part of the Operating System, my plugin has nothing to do with
-its translation. Blame Microsoft if they don't put a default AM/PM value!!
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.7] Q: I've noticed some strange memory leaks... can you fix them?
-
-A: I've fixed them in 1.0.0.5, so grab the latest version of PopUp plugin :-))
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.0] Q: Hey, remove XXX and add YYY to the plugin!
-
-A: Write to hrk@users.sourceforge.net explaining "why" in an intelligent way.
-If you convince me, I'll do what you ask.
-
-Examples of "asked things" are: Dynamically resizing popups; Background colour;
-Bold font for name; Fade in/out; AM/PM...
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.0] Q: The popups don't show on my system. Can you find the problem?
-
-A: Open the "Options" and click on "Preview": if you see PopUps, the plugin
-works.
-
-If the preview does not work, then there is a problem.
-I need a bug report. :)
-Get VersionInfo plugin and send me its output informations too.
-I can make you a special debug build to see if we can find out the problem.
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.0] Q: If I use MS Sans Serif as font for the popups, either my name or
-the date gets cut. Can you fix it?
-
-A: No :/ I can't fix it.
-This happens with every font of "Serif" family, so it happens with MS Sans
-Serif, MS Serif, some kind of "Lucida" and so on.
-I don't know why, but it happens.
-You can do two things:
-1) Use a font of another family.
-2) Enable "Enlarge PopUps by" and select a percentage you like. 120% should be
-good, but you can choose any value in the range 100% (no change) ~ 200% (double
-size).
-If you put 105%, you'll see no big difference in popup size (so it will not
-become huge!) and you will have a readable text.
-
-A2: It seems it's a problem related to "Latin" fonts. I cannot understand
-what's wrong so you'll have to use the workaround written above. :-)
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.0] Q: Hey, I can't stand the second line, can't I disable it?
-
-A: Yes: uncheck "Show second line".
-===============================================================================
-
-[1.0.0.0] Q: Thank for your work! Your plugin rocks, I'd like to give you
-something!
-
-A: You're welcome $_$. Anyway, my plugin is released both as freeware and Open
-Source, so you don't have to pay for it, as you don't have to pay for Miranda,
-and you can read its source code as you can read Miranda's source code. [Hmmm...
-if I were you I would not read my source code very finely, because I'm ashamed
-on how chaotic it is. :) Sooner or later I'll write it again from scratch,
-making a well organized code. Anyway, as of today it's fully commented, so it
-can be useful nevertheless.]
-
-By the way, should you feel like you want to compensate me in some way... in
-the event you upgrade your computer and have some old pieces you *won't use
-anymore*, which are *completely useless* and you don't *need them at all*...
-email me at hrk@users.sourceforge.net, because maybe I can use them. :-)
