Radar floater, Options tab, check "Announce incoming avatars even when closed".

yes but... the problem appears if you logout with it closed and then log back in. The alerts will not apear until you open the radar window again.

It's not a "problem", it's how it's supposed to work... The radar updating is not started until you open it once. A background updating is then kept after closing it only when the corresponding check box is ticked. This way, the background updating is not slowing down the viewer's idle update loop for people not needing the radar.

Oh, yea that makes sence. Can you add a separate option to make it persistent? Not really a problem but can be useful if you get to it sometime.

Thank you anyway :)

Adding a setting would make things even more complicated and unintuitive... I think I'll just couple the "Announce incoming avatars even when closed" setting with auto-starting of the radar data background updates on login. I'll also change the tool tip for that setting accordingly.
