This box can be switched by double-clicking the sound icon in the "Sound" column of the desired event.

Sound settings

Instead of the system's default beep, a custom sound can be assigned to each event by selecting the desired event in the "Notifications" list, enabling the "Sound" icon, then clicking the "Browse..." button. Only Wave sound files (typically with a ".wav" extension) are allowed.

Balloon settings

Display the balloon only when DC++ is in the background

When this box is checked, balloons popups will fire to signal the selected event only when DC++ is in the background (either minimized or not the active window). Otherwise, they will always be displayed whenever the selected event is signalled.

Fire a balloon popup example

Pressing this button will have DC++ launch a balloon popup example from the Windows notification area. The balloon popup will be titled "DC++ - Balloon popup example" and will contain the following string as its content text: "This is an example of a balloon popup notification!".
