IRC Client activity not visible enough

Hello everyone,

i use Opera IRC built-in client every day, but often, when people talks to me, at least one hour goes before i see they are talking.

Wouldn't it be possible for Opera IRC Tabs to blink, or have a changing title, or anything that would make it easier to see ?
Maybe a popup just like when a new mail incomes, or when a download is finished.

Thanks.

In earlier versions of Opera, there'd be a dot on the tab to notify you. Now, the top right of the tab is folded back. Are you saying that's not sufficient?

Absolutely, top corner is not enough to me.

All of those things should be possible to implement. You could wish for it in the wish-list forum.

At me unread tabs have blue font *, so when I have not opened IRC tab, where somebody sends new message, then black font on IRC tab changes to blue colour.
Additionally Opera's icon in tray changes - there is added a "balloon" to red "O".

* In sections [Pagebar Button Skin.attention] and [Pagebar Button Skin.hover.attention] (and similar, like [Pagebar Button Skin.bottom.hover.attention], [Pagebar Button Skin.bottom.attention] etc.) in skin.ini in used skin I have:

Text color = #0000ff

the problem when you have many tabs, so it would be better if it had a pop up notification
