If the skin setup is hanging at the "Setting up Notifications..." step, make sure your facebook language is set to English. Once the setup is complete you can change your language back to whatever you need.

- View friend requests
- View latest inbox messages
- Notified of new friend requests, messages, and notifications via "balloon tip" similar to the Facebook website


Known Issues
- Facebook hasn't released the API for their new messaging system, so there are some inconsistencies (any messages received through FB Chat will not show up) between what you will see in the skin and their website. They say it will be released soon, and as soon as it is I will release an update.

- Occasionally after posting a new comment, the skin doesn't show it. If that happens, just close out the comments and reopen. I haven't had any instance when the comment wasn't posted...so don't double post assuming it didn't work the first time.

 


Requires Rainmeter 2.1.

This skin requires application authorization through Facebook. This is completely secure and you can view my privacy statement here. The list of permissions required has gotten significantly longer...this is due to the new notifications feature.


***PLEASE DO NOT LOWER THE UPDATE RATE OF THIS SKIN***
