Arise

Arise (aka arise.dll) displays customisable on screen popup messages and it's especially useful for displaying chat or events on IRC. While it has been designed as a DLL for use with mIRC, it includes exports to be used with other programs.

History

v2.0 2006-04-22 Add multi-monitor support, window animations and window positions.
v1.2 2005-02-08 Fixed Win9x/ME bug, thanks to meht for the report.
v1.0 2005-01-20 Initial release.
Programming language: C, using only the Windows API.
Arise was inspired by a Miranda IM plugin which also popped up messages. At the time I was stuck with a 17" monitor and it was tiresome to constantly switch windows to see if anything had been said. Plus I hadn't created a DLL yet and this seemed like a good opportunity. The small DLL file size is achieved without any compression techniques.
