I'm using Google Chrome for Facebook Chat and was wondering if there was any way to show a notification on the Windows 7 superbar for when I get a message on Facebook?

Similar to Firefox 4 where you have a pinned tab, and the tab has a glow when you have a new message.

Should probably go to webapps.SE, I voted to move it there. But maybe not? – slhck May 7 '11 at 9:30

@slhck question's about Chrome showing up a notification on Windows task(super)bar, not about facebook. I don't see how it should be on Web Apps – Sathya♦ May 8 '11 at 4:58

The tab glow in Firefox4 happens when the page's title changes, the browser which has an event listener will give the tab a glow effect. As far as chrome goes, the taskbar notifications are available in the browser's extensions API so it's a different ball game. The Facebook chat extension is one which shows such desktop notifications may that could be what you're looking for
