Skype

Notifications
If you are running Ubuntu with NotifyOSD you can integrate Skype's notifications with those generated by NotifyOSD

Open Skype

Go to 'Options' --> 'Notifications' --> click on 'Advanced View'

The following two examples should provide enough details to allow you to successfully create your own notification messages

Select the notification you want to change, the first example is for 'Incoming Call Ringing':

Untick 'Display pop-up notification'

Tick 'Execute the following script'

Enter the following in the box provided:

notify-send "%sname is calling" -i skype

This next example is for 'Voicemail Received':

Enter the following in the box provided:

notify-send "You have a voice message waiting" -i skype

Press the 'Apply' button before moving on to the next notification

Changes made this way are recorded in 'config.xml' file located in the home directory of your user profile:

user_name/.skype/skype_user_name

If you have more than one Skype account you can copy everything between the tags   and paste it in to the 'config.xml' file of the other profile.
