I have a big screen (30 inch) and I usually miss when someone is writing me a message in Skype. That's important because I must notice the message and answer immediately. How can this be solved? Any plugin? I want the IM notifications be really big

There's a program called Skype-Wrapper that attempts to improve Skype's notification system in Ubuntu by integrating it into the Ubuntu messaging menu.
You can see installation instructions from this article in OMGUbuntu.
There are additional instructions in the first answer to this question on AskUbuntu (which is my source for this information).
Go to the chat window of the group and type:
/alertsoff
Nothing else, just this command. This will mute the group, so you don’t get any sounds, but it will still keep the number of new messages visible.
To get the notifications back, type:
/alertson
You can also enable alerts for specific words only, your name for example:
/alertson zeto
There doesn't seem to be a command to see the currently active alerts.
See the list of available chat commands in Skype. Or type in any conversation window:
/help
These chat commands, if typed correctly, are not visible for others.

I've found the way not to miss when a user starts chat with me on Ubuntu (and probably on old versions of Skype for Windows, version 2 I suggest). On the screenshot: If you choose "open a new window in the front", you will never miss an incoming message.
