I often use visual studio 2005 side-by-side with visual studio 2008. Do you remember the visual studio 2005 power-toy event toaster? You could configure it to pop a balloon in the system tray when a build was complete.
Is there a FREE plug-in for visual studio 2008 that does the same thing ? I really miss the event toaster. I used to zone out during long builds and the friendly POP sound it made when the build was complete would wake me up.
Growl for windows can show popups when builds are complete.
You’ll if you add the visual studio plugin for it.
Works with vs05 and vs08.
