-1.5.7.6:
+ Description
+ -----------
+ This plugin for Miranda-IM notifies user of specified events (as incoming messages,
+ incoming files, incoming URLs or other events). This plugin is based on the original one
+ by Martin Öberg (aka strickz) and Std's modifications (mainly the idea of using direct
+ port handling using a driver).
+ It has many options allowing:
+ a) To select on which events to react
+ b) Under which conditions (eg: fullscreen mode, ScreenSaver running, workstation locked)
+ c) To act only if the protocol receiving the event is under specified status
+ d) For message events you can choose to be notified if the message window is open or not
+ e) A notification feature allowing to be notified of pending events (unopen events)
+ after specified period of time
+ f) To select method for stopping the blinking (after x secs, if Miranda is re-attended,
+ if Windows is re-attended, if all notified events are opened or when the notify conditions
+ end)
+ g) And several flashing options: select leds to blink, effects (all at the same time,
+ in turn, in sequence and like KITT!), preview button
+ It was designed to be flexible and performing several different tasks. It can be
+ configured to act like the original one and has several functions from other Miranda's
+ keyboard notifier plugins.
+ It also provides a service to allow third party plugins use its notifier abilities.
