I'd be in favor of this.
I have to disagree, I'm afraid – the blinking is very useful to me, at least. If anything, I suppose yet another preference setting would be fine: Unread IM tabs blink? Change color? Both? etc.
More differentiation among the various IM windows would be a very good idea in general, however. I'd like to see the tab (or subpage) for the active IM window be made a LOT more obvious, perhaps through reversal of the tab colors, a special color, or something of the sort. Similarly, another thing that needs improvement is the way that IM windows' tabs are shown when scrolled off the sides of the Communicate list. When there's more than a few tabs, activity in those not immediately visible is very hard to determine visually – and new incoming IMs can be easily missed entirely. Coyote is right - setting might be way to go. The ultra mega cool way I'd like to see is to have it blink a few times, and then turn bright and slowly fade away as the time passes, until it settles on a color which is still different enough from tab with read messages.
W/ update 1.19.0 (next voice update)
DEV-3084 is the internal Jira that covers this issue
Oops, this one really is fixed internally.
Does that mean we will in some time in the future get a setting choice?
I've changed all fixed internally issues to Resolved: Fix pending.
how the H*** did a jira entry with 2... TWO VOTES make it into the release candidate?
Please see: http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-4575 What the... I had no idea this was a requested feature. It really hurts hearing-impaired residents, because new IMs are very hard to detect now, visually. If people really hate the flashing so much, could we have a UI option to disable flashing (but leave flashing on by default for the hearing impaired and others who rely on the flashing) instead of just taking it away altogether?
I saw this, and will followup in
HOLY.. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! Jeeze, and in just two votes! Seriously! There are real issues that have ALOT more votes and actually need fixing, that still aren't getting fixed.. This is something that should not have happenned.
