>1. Can I make my title bar flash, especially when minimised something like what happens in MSN.

Here is a ready VFP-Function I use in my private API-Class. This allows all flash-Options being transferred as parameters.

    #DEFINE FLASHWINFO_STRU_SIZE 20   && Größe der Struktur
    #DEFINE FLASHW_STOP 0             && Stop Flashing, wenn zuvor mit FLASHW_TIMER
                                      && aufgerufen
    #DEFINE FLASHW_CAPTION 1          && Flash die WindowCaption
    #DEFINE FLASHW_TRAY 2             && Flash den Taskbar - Button
    #DEFINE FLASHW_ALL BitOr(FLASHW_CAPTION, FLASHW_TRAY) && Taskbar + Caption
    #DEFINE FLASHW_TIMER 4             && Flash continuously until called with STOP
    #DEFINE FLASHW_TIMERNOFG 12        && Flash continuously until Window comes to foreground

> 2. Can I change the colour of my title bar depending on some parameters like User Level or any other.

As already said that is done by the Windows color shemes. If You like that, Each user could have its Windows color scheme. Or You'd have to create Your own forms class that does not use the standard title bar. You'd have to do something with the _screen too.
