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.
