I know i'm in the minority of windows users here, but I always have my taskbars auto-hide.

When a conversation window in Messenger receives a new message the Windows 7 taskbar pops-up so that you can see that someone is talking to you.

I'm in the habit of having all of these conversation windows on my right-most monitor which has a DF taskbar on it. Sadly DF does not detect the in-app focus changes and doesn't pop-up.

Could you please add this functionality? At the moment I've got a very lame sounding explanation why I'm seemingly ignoring my mates

It's quite impressive how feature-rich the Win7 taskbar is!

Cheers,

Darren
