2012-09-02 22:20:05 Display Name description Currently, all new messages on hidden channels just make them bold in buddy list. However, I want a better notification for some specific hidden channels where typically no one speaks. I think just opening a new conversation window would be enough. When hide is enabled for a channel, then a new item like "Do not hide new messages" or something would be displayed. It would be nice if the plug-in notified of new messages for some specific channels you have hidden, so you don't have to remember checking bold channels in buddy list when exiting Pidgin. I suggest blinking tray icon as in the attached picture, just like Pidgin already does when your nickname is mentioned. Whenever hiding is enabled for a channel, an additional context item would be displayed, like "Notify messages" or something.
