ok, im using the theme "modern" which uses "taskbar3".

my problem is, when people message me on AIM, the taskbar button doesnt flash. this causes me to miss lots of messages. i have tried adding the line "TaskbarUseRealFlashing true"
i have even gone as far as defining the color and length -
"TaskbarAlwaysOnTop true
TaskbarRefresh 3000
TaskbarDisableFlashing false
TaskbarFlashingBack 336699"

doesnt seem to work. any ideas? am i not editing the right thing? being new to LS, is it just me or does OTS2 seem to complicate things more?

thanx for any help...

*bump*

any help at all? i really cant figure this out, and i really dont feel like switching back to explorer [blehc]

of course, i could always try Austerity and see if it works there, but i like this theme darnit...

do you have the default state defined? (taskbarnormalback)
is the normal appearance of the taskbar defined with an image or with a color? it should be a color..
and which version of taskbar3 are u using?

actually, no the default state isnt defined... and it looks like im using version 3-0.306_alpha-3
ill go and define the default color and see if that does it

ya know, after going in and messing with it some more, i think there should be someplace that these elements are defined. The taskbar buttons seem to be defined to use an image, but I have no idea what that default image is, where it is located, or where/what file its defined in. Im guessing that its defined for all states including flashing, so all i need to do is find that and change the flashing state there. Any ideas? anyone else using the modern skin?
