Thinkpads Forum

So, I'd love to hear what you guys think about a windows implementation of this feature. I hope I'm not the only one that uses a Instant Messaging client (Pidgin is great by the way.. spellcheck and auto-replace, simple, and other plugins available) and would be interested in blinking the Thinklight when an IM is waiting. Thoughts?

Here's the idea I'm most interested in:

There are other usages as seen here under Applications:

Maybe this link would be helpful in the development process, I'm no programmer but my buddie who is getting his master's in Comp. Sci. (but sadly is a linux guru, d@mn you penguin!!!) says "since there's an API for it, it should be doable and someone with a little windows/gtk development skills should be able to do it". I have no idea what that means but it sounds ... well... scary...
