-tabSRMM event notifications (also known as "popups"
----------------------------------------------------
-
-Beginning with 0.9.9.95, tabSRMM has its own event notification system
-built into the plugin. That means, you should deactivate or uninstall
-existing event notifications plugins like NewEventNotify. If you want
-to continue using an external event notification plugin, you can disable
-tabSRMMs own system by doing the following:
-
-* Open Mirandas options dialog, go to Message Sessions -> Event notifications
-* Check "Disable ALL event notifications..."
-
-This will disable tabSRMMs own event notifications, and you'll never see popups
-or other types of notifications. You can then use an external plugin for
-this purpose (like any version of NewEventNotify.dll)
-
-In any way, you should always only have one system running at any given time.
-If you decide to use an external event notification plugin, then you should
-disable tabSRMMs internal system and vice versa. Having both active, may cause
-troubles like double popups and more. If you get double popups, then this is
-a strong indication for more than one event notification system being active.
-
-Why use tabSRMMs own event notification system?
-
-Simply, because it works better :) Since it is tightly integrates into the
-message dialog, it can do some things which an external plugin cannot. Also,
-most external plugins are written with top-level message windows in mind and
-therefore don't work very well with tabbed chat windows.
-
-Also, tabSRMMs event notify system is not limited to popups only. It can use
-the following ways to announce incoming messages:
-
-1) popups (need popup.dll installed - I suggest using a recent version of
- popup PLUS or YAPP - the latter being more stable and actively maintained.
-
-2) On Screen Display (OSD). You can either use wbOSD or the old OSD plugin
- - both available on the miranda file listing.
-
-3) Balloon (system tray) tooltips. Only available on Windows 2000 or
- later.
-
-Configuration of event notifications is done on the "Message Sessions >
-Event Notifications" page. Most options should be familar if you have ever been
-using a NewEventNotify plugin.
-
-The "announce method" specifies in which way you want to see the event
-notifications (popups, osd or balloon tooltips). The combo box will only
-contain entries which are available (the necessary plugin is installed and
-detected).
-
-
-If you have choosen that you want to see notifications, even if a message
-window is already open (UNCHECK "Don't announce event when message dialog
-is open"), you can further configure that on a "per container" base. You
-can find these options on the containers menu bar (Container->Event
-popups")
-
-The relevant options are:
--------------------------
-
-1) Enable popups if minimized
- The container and all its tabs will show popups if the container has
- been minimized to the taskbar.
-
-2) Enable popups if unfocused
- More aggressive popup behaviour. Now, you will always see event popups
- unless the container is in the foreground (active and focused).
-
-3) Always enable popups for inactive tabs.
- This is the most aggressive setting. You will always see popups, UNLESS
- the container is focused (in the foreground) and the tab which received
- the event is the active one (selected).
-
-The last option will basically show you popups for all your open sessions,
-except for the session which is active (in the foreground).
-
-You can set default values for these under Options->Message containers
-which will apply to containers at creation time. Once a container exists,
-it has its own copy of these settings, so if you need to change them, you
-will have to use the container settings dialog (right click the title- or
-button bar of an open container or use the system menu and choose
-"Container Options".
