I'd like to rig up my theme so that whenever the Trillian icon goes from the standard trillian icon to the flashing message, a shortcut flashes too (by flashes I mean switches from one to another and back over and over) until it's told to stop by having the user mouse-over the shortcut.
The shortcut is in an LsBox and I figure would be switched through ...
*Script exec !LsBoxGroupShow #1
*Script exec !LsBoxGroupHide #2
The mouse-over-shortcut-to-stop-flashing could be triggered through a hotspot.
The practical application of this is I generally have the tray hidden, with a little tab visible that I can mouse-over to show the tray. On the little tab is an icon of 2 little buttons. I'd like to be able to keep the ls box with the tray hidden, and when a new message comes in and Trillian starts flashing its message icon, the tab buttons sorta light up and turn off and light up and turn off type of thing.. a subtle flashing effect. I'd like the flashing to continue at maybe 2 toggles per second, until the mouse goes into the hotspot overtop of the tab.
I hope I've explained this clearly, I've been hitting the hotknives rather steadilly tonight...
