One thing I'd like to see is some kind of browser addon/plugin for messages. The reason for this is that I believe I'm not alone in working or doing other stuff while having BBO active in the background. At times I switch and watch a deal or two (or vugraph results) and switch back. Being in an office landscape, sound is of course off. Then I might discover that a friend has tried to reach me a while ago.
Got me thinking maybe there could be an add-on for such stuff? Maybe to notify for messages on your friends list (or all, being able to filter out random request for team games).
Like there is for Gmail in Chrome (to pick a random example).
Anyone else wanting this kind of functionality?

Do you want some boss protection button with that as well?

My concern is that I only have two sound options: on or off. This means that I often turn sound off when kibitzing so I don't here the constant click of the cards playing but I then frequently miss chat messages from friends, etc. I would really like the ability to turn on message notification but turn off other sounds.

I too would love to be able to turn off just the playing sounds. Also, I would like a much more audible noise when someone first starts chatting to me.

Agree, the full set of user configurable sound options in BBO Windows is ideal.
