is there any way to tell how many people are on a server or see who it is or anything while you're in a game and without having to switch windows just to look at the teamspeak window??? If not then i'd like to reccomend this option because when you're playing counterstrike it would be really nice to be able to see who is on teamspeak but its way too inconvenient to switch windows.

this would require a support of TS for ALL the various games => this can not be done by TS alone !

Probably there are games with an interface to other applications (I'm not an expert in this). But I guess such things will not come in the next two weeks.

I doubt so. I'm running Mozilla 1.5 and its mail client always pulls that "you have xxx new messages" window up on the lower right, even if i run a game.
Most likely there is already a function in the Windows API for this kind of problem. Whether or not you can use that from Delphi is a different story :-)

Brain: the question is the what games do you see this happening and what screen functions Mozilla 1.5 are using in order to do this.

I have been toying with the DirectX-SDK and the TSClient-SDK
so I might be able to do such a thing but I have to learn C++ in order to tie it together. Its not a small undertaking. If I get something working I will no doubt offer it to the community.

Games are Gothic, BF1942, FS2002/2004. These are the only ones i play.
I somehow doubt Mozilla would use anything fancy for its little popup box.
Say, isn't that stuff Open Source? *hint*

I don't even know what Mozola is so I am unsure.
I thought it was vegtable oil.

I am sure the are not using anything fancy, just using a DirectX function that has to be hunted down or found out. I am unfamilure with the games you play and the one origonily asked about so I can't do a comparison with them but its quite probable that differant games access the screen differently and even if I or someone else did get something working, it most likely it wont work on all games.

i play counterstrike and team fortress classic

[Cstar_maxim]

Yep as I expected I do not play any of these games, well to be honest I only really play one game family so.... (FYI MechWarrior) don't worry if anybody comes up with anything I am sure everyone here will be made very aware of it in a short time.
