Running ADN Checker

When ADN Checker first starts, it will show an icon in your system tray for the first minute of operation.  You can hide the icon by right-clicking on it and clicking “Hide.” After the first minute of operation, ADN Checker will check for new private messages. If no new messages are found, the icon will disappear. If new messages are found, the icon will continue to display.

ADN Checker will check App.net every minute (not configurable at this time).  If any unread messages are found, the icon will be displayed in your system tray.

Double-click the icon to visit Omega.Alpha.net and read your messages.

If you don’t have any unread messages, the icon will not be displayed.

Please note that omega will automatically mark messages as read for a stream that is being displayed in the browser. This may be confusing if you are waiting for ADN Checker to display the icon. You can close the browser or exit to the main screen of Omega to ensure that it is not marking read messages.
