Description

Context

Server administrators can currently suggest certain client properties, such as the minimum client version or that the client should have positional audio and/or push-to-talk enabled.

Description

The suggestions currently only show as a small text message in the chat bar. Given how noisy the chat bar is (in general) these messages will most likely be missed and therefore ignored.

Instead, these messages should be shown as messageboxes (if the conditions are not already fulfilled)

Research direction
Investigate the current implementation of config suggestions in the Mumble client. Look for where the small text is rendered in the chat bar, likely in a Qt widget. Examine the related issue #1806 for context. Implement a solution to show messageboxes instead, using Qt's QMessageBox or similar. Ensure the conditions for checking suggestions are preserved.
