suggestion number 2...
copy pasting it :
"2 - I just had an idea today, I'll email the other developers about it, how about the flickering tab pixmap being an animated gif ? instead of having amsn code set a timer and switch the tab image from the 'flickered' to 'unflickered' pixmaps every X ms, you could do it yourself with an animated gif, this way you could even make it flash real fast, or really slow, depends on your liking, also, you could even have a more advanced flickering tab by having for example an animation where the image fades in/fades out, or a nice trick would be to have a few (2 or 3) pixel's width 'chrome' vertical line moving from left to right in the tab image (like a sun reflection moving through the tab or something), I don't know how to explain that, and I won't be able to do it, I know nothing about gimp :p
so, that's one idea, to use one 'flickered' pixmap for the flickered tab, and have it animated so you do whatever you want to do in it, instead of having 2 pixmaps and amsn switching between each one of them...
I think we can keep the old behavior too (in case you're ok with it and you don't feel like having one animated gif with 2 frames in it... it takes more space), by simply having a :

if { [::IsAnimated $flickered_image] ==  0 } {
   start_flickering $flickered_image $normal_image
} else {
   # do nothing
}    


Would it be nice ? I'd like your advice on this.. I'll ask the other devels in the meantime..."

what do you think ? Tom ?
