"Show message/Play sound" is an interactive action which require pressing a key or mouse button. If you need simply to output some information you can use "Log message". This action output specified string into log of task.

You can see a log of task at bottom of main window when you selected corresponding task.

hi oleg
thanks for the reaction
but i dont want to log anything
the only thing i want is a small visual Notification window that is alway updated
 
thanks richard

Hmm...
Maybe, we'll add such action in future.

 
thanks richard

I use the question dialog.  But I don't ask a question, I put in the notice.  Then I set the auto-button-press feature for as long as I want the message to be displayed.
I guess you could put this into a loop to continually update you.
