Visual Studio - Better Build Status Indication

When I create Visual Studio, it would be great to have a better indicator that the build is complete.

Sometimes I move from VS during its construction, and I need to switch between VS and another window to find out if VS is finished building.

Are there any ways to make the "build is done" status more obvious? Listen to sound or something else?

You can use Growl for Windows to connect to Visual Studio.

Configure it using the visual studio plugin (found here ) and you will have a very clear indication of the success / failure of the build.

Notifications are displayed as follows:

If you are using the Sounds control panel applet, you will find that there is a section for Visual Studio. "Build Success" is one of the sounds.

I prefer "Windows Print Complete", which gives a nice "funny" sound. I am using "Windows Hardware Failure" to fail the build. It really sounds like something bad.
