# Configure World → Activity #

The **Activity** section of the World Configuration controls what happens when there's new activity (new text received) for the MU\*.

  * **Flash Taskbar?**: Flash **Potato**'s taskbar icon, when there's activity and the user is in another application? (On Windows, this works automatically. On Linux, you may wish to install the Linflash add-on to improve behaviour. The procedure for this is not currently documented, please [contact me](ContactMe) if you need it.)
  * **Flash SysTray Icon?**: Animate Potato's icon in the system tray when there's activity and the user is in another application? Only available on Windows.
  * **Show 'Activity in `<`World`>`'?**: Show a 'New Activity in `<`World`>`' prompt in the output window of the current connection, when there's new activity in this world?
  * **Show 'New Activity'?**: When there's activity in the world, but it is not currently active (either because the user is viewing another connection, or using another application), show a 'New Activity' marker to make it easy to find where the new activity begins?
  * **Clear Previous 'New Activity'?**: Should we clear old 'New Activity' notices when a new one is displayed, to reduce spam?
