Title: Ingame PMs
Post by: shotgunneeley on February 19, 2016, 09:46:17 PM

When someone types a PM into the text buffer ".p handle message...", I'd like for a pop-up notification to appear on the receiver's screen (similar to a join request). This can be set by default to a corner of the screen out of the way, just thought it'd be handy because simple PMs in the text buffer can quickly go unnoticed - especially when a receiver does not realize when there are being spoken to directly. Doesn't have to be the message body, just a notification like "you have a private message" or "<Handle> has PM'ed you".

Maybe a different color text.  The bright white, can blend in with 200 chat.  Problem is, seems all other prime colors seem to be taken. 

 :headscratch: Pink???  May give one pause to belittle another for combat squabbles, if known the cutsie pie lettering.  :kiss:

You can have a separate tab just for PMs and put it anywhere on your screen.
