Description Torquil Macdonald Sørensen 2008-08-01 12:33:40 UTC

Version:           0.50.80 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-2-686

I think this must have changed from KDE3 to KDE4 (the KDE3 behaviour was better):

When I have an open chat window that is unfocused/minimized, then the systray icon becomes animated when I receive a message in that chat window.

I do not want a notification for chats that already have a window, regardless of whether they are unfocused or minimized (like I had with KDE3).

I have tried "Treat all chats on the current desktop like active chats", but that does not affect this. 

If it could be configurable to have this animation if the window exists, that would be the best solution. Or am I overlooking some configuration setting?

Best regards,
Torquil Sørensen

Btw, this goes for the flashing envelope in the contact list also.

I'll second this, the behaviour change from KDE3 to KDE4 for this makes no sense...   if I have a chat open, marking the taskbar entry should be enough, I don't need to see the tray icon flash on every message.

If it were a seperate option, that would be fine too.

Same behaviour noted with KDE 4.1.2.

Please take us back to the old behaviour.

Backport part of commit 871405.
Fix bug 167976: Systray icon shouldn't animate for existing chat windows.

As we cannot change GUI in KDE 4.1 you have to add/change

[Behavior]
animateOnMessageWithOpenChat=false

in ~/.kde/share/config/kopeterc file to make it behave as in KDE 3.
