One of our users, goes by the alias ‘esoteric’, mentioned that he tried using Bubbles to
have Facebook chat always on and accessible on his system tray (see his post here)

We thought it was such a cool idea that we figured it would also be cool to make this
an example of how easy it is to write extensions for Bubbles. in about 10 minutes time
we wrote an extension that changes the system-tray icon when new messages come
in. This included creating a nifty icon for the ‘message waiting’ mode and looking for
something to hook the code onto.

Instant messengers will usually change the window title when a message is waiting,
and Facebook chat is no different, click view-script on the right side to see the five
lines it takes to add this cool functionality.

Enjoy

IE7 users: Facebook had a bug with the chat running in IE7, it seems that this was fixed by Facebook on June 3′rd or earlier.
