Animated Notifications
Mod Version: 1.0, by MarkFL

This product began as the result of a request to have a blinking new PM image like we have here at vBorg. However, I have expanded on that to include all of the vBulletin notification types, and some that result from third party products. You can also define your own custom notifications to work with this product (the .GIF icon needs to be put in the "images/misc" folder). You can define the order in which the alert icons will appear from left to right. The alert icons I have included are animated Skype smilies, and you can define the maximum height for these icons. The icons will appear to the left of the other toplinks element, but within the element itself. You can set whether the notifications being displayed with an icon are removed from the notifications menu, or you can decide to hide the notifications menu altogether (only recommended if you are sure you have all possible notifications displayed with an icon).




Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and may work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.
