The new nfty alert notifications are great. My only issue is that I constantly have the chat window popping up all over with every trade I make, popping up on top of the trade chart. Can we please get an option to start the chat window minimized and force it to stay minimized? I want nfty to work, but I don't ever want to see the chat window.

Thanks!

If the Chat window is minimized, then it should not be opening when an alert is added to it, or when there is a message in general. Are you seeing a different behavior with this? Is it the Chat window, Alert Manager, or the Alert Popup that is coming up?

It does seem that minimizing the chat window helps. Can we get a setting to force the chat window minimized on startup?

We have noted the request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request.

Do not close the chat window. It sounds like that is what you are doing:

You are correct. I was closing it. Sure would be nice to have a start minimized option, so that I don't even have to see the chat windows when I have multiple instances firing up multiple chat windows.

In the next release minimize the chat window and that state should be saved on program startup.
