Where to find it

Main menu → Preferences → General; bell at the top of a chat

Notifications alert you to new messages. The general setting applies to DinoX as a whole. You can additionally set each contact and group separately. Your online status is a separate setting.

Check three places in this order: the general DinoX setting, the affected chat’s bell and your operating system’s notification permissions. An enabled chat bell cannot override globally disabled notifications.

What to do

Under General, enable Notifications if DinoX should show alerts for new messages.
Turn Message Notification Sounds on or off separately. Turning sound off is not the same as muting a chat.
Open the desired chat and select the bell at the top. In groups, choose all messages, mentions only or no alerts. Reset to default restores the default behaviour.
Allow DinoX notifications in Windows or your Linux system settings. A system-wide do-not-disturb mode can still suppress alerts.

What do the choices mean?

Mute

Suppresses alerts for this chat. Messages still arrive. The contact is not blocked.

Mentions only

In groups, limit alerts to mentions of you. Useful in busy public rooms.

Minimize to System Tray on Close

When enabled and supported by your desktop, closing the window leaves DinoX running in the background. Quit or Ctrl+Q exits completely. DinoX notifications and local feed checks then stop.
