Hamachi:Preferences: Messaging

General

Options

'Enable messaging' toggles whether or not you want to have messaging allowed.
'Show chat windows in the taskbar' toggles whether you want a taskbar entry for each chat window you have open.

Options

'Blink the application icon in the system tray' will only blink the icon in the system tray (3 green dots) when a new message arrives.
'Display the chat window immediately' will show new messages on-screen when they arrive. This is recommended if you need to get your messages immediately, to prevent overlooking the tray indicator.
'Play sound' will toggle whether Hamachi plays a sound when receiving a new message. This sound, by default, is the "balloon" sound from Windows, but can by changed by placing a new sound file named Hamachi.wav in the Hamachi program folder.

Options

'Do not sent "Typing..." notification' toggles whether your peers will see when you are typing a message to them.
'Keep chat logs', when enabled, stores your chats in the chats folder of your Hamachi configuration.
