I have created a useful system tray application for Windows that allows you to always know when you have moves waiting for you. For more information on the tools and how to get it please check out:

For those wondering, yes Russ has given the thumbs up to people using it.

Seems to work on Win2k as well. Good work.. its pretty cool
A neat addition might be to set which website its going to watch.. ie.. redhotpawn., redhotchess., timeforchess, as I don't use redhotpawn, I use the other ones (my wife is logged in to redhotpawn, as we're too lazy to log out all the time.. hehe)

It helps to know that you have some, but like for those of us who are in Long Haul tournies and like to leave some games sitting for a few days, the program isn't as helpful. Maybe something to try for version 2.0?

Originally posted by seraphimvultureI can definately add that. That is currently part of the data that Russ is exposing. I can add that to the tool tip string that is displayed when you mouse over the icon in the tray.
