Just a quick rather strange question...

When you are having a conversation with smeone and the tab (think thats the word) flashes in the bar along the bottom of the screen, what colour does it flash? I use windows XP home and it flashes orange but my friend also uses Windows XP home and hers flashes green :confused:

    Maybe it depends on your colour scheme.

    It's based on the theme, nothing to do with messenger.

    the colour of the 'flashing' is irregardless of MSN, ICQ, MSN+, windows live messenger, whatever...

    It's a colour you can set in your appearence tab in the graphics properties.
    I can make mine flash in every colour of the rainbow if I'd like to.
