[Add-on] PM alert layer [1.0.0]

[Gumfuzi]

i hope this mod is still in development so i post here a suggestion for this problem (see a.m. posting):

to avoid the layer from disappearing on the next page, would it be posssible to show the layer if a PM is "unread" instead of "new"?

because then the layer will be shown longer than the confirmation screen and since the position of the layer ist changeable within the file, everyone can user a position for this so that no one ist getting angry for showing.

maybe there can be an option to close only this layer and not going to the ucp/pn page until the next login etc.

so is it possible to implement this?
if not, how can i figure out, if there is a PM unread?

many thanks!

I want the body of the message to be inside ths PM layer.... as in Invision Power boards....
is there any possibility to add this function??

Oh this is a fantastic mod!

just done a bit of modifying to it to include the message text & to be a relative placement instead of floating.

Love the mod tho!!

Yes, I would love to install this mod on my prosilver-based style too.

I installed it on prosilver, but i changed it around alot, as i didnt like it being "floating"

just follow the instructions in the file and update prosilver not sub

[moustafamin]

have added it on prosilver... but I do have some template errors
really in need of help...

I think the error is crystal clear.. I want the PM alert layer to be on top of every thing
