 //  This script generates notifications created via a number of ways, such as:
 //  keystroke:
 //
-//  "q" returns number of users currently online (for debug purposes)
-
 //  CTRL/s for snapshot.
 //  CTRL/m for mic mute and unmute.
 
 //  System generated notifications:
-//  Displays users online at startup.
 //  If Screen is resized.
-//  Triggers notification if @MyUserName is mentioned in chat.
-//  Announces existing user logging out.
-//  Announces new user logging in.
 //  If mic is muted for any reason.
 //
 //  To add a new System notification type:
 //
 //  1. Set the Event Connector at the bottom of the script.
 //  example:
-//  GlobalServices.incomingMessage.connect(onIncomingMessage);
+//  AudioDevice.muteToggled.connect(onMuteStateChanged);
 //
 //  2. Create a new function to produce a text string, do not include new line returns.
 //  example:
-//  function onIncomingMessage(user, message) {
-//      //do stuff here;
-//      var text = "This is a notification";
-//      var wrappedText = wordWrap(text);

+//     muteString = "Microphone is now " + muteState;
+//     createNotification(muteString, NotificationType.MUTE_TOGGLE);
 //  }
 //
 //  This new function must call wordWrap(text) if the length of message is longer than 42 chars or unknown.
