>>If you must blink something -- blink the background, not the foreground. Most users find this less obtrusive. I usually just toggle between an opaque and transparent background style. This is enough "movement" to alert the uer without driving him/her nuts.

>According to Windows standards, blinking is not permitted. The only thing that should ever blink is the program name in the Windows task bar...and then only when the application needs attention.
