Modal dialogs block waiting for input, non-modal dialogs do not. Both are implemented with JDialog at the lowest level. Panels do not return an input value to the calling routine, although they can still have a large variety of effects (consider ColonyPanel), and are implemented with JInternalFrames. All of them can be supplied with a new tile to focus on (e.g. the colony tile for ColonyPanel), which may cause the map to refocus if it needs to to make the tile visible. > I looked at the code and think the actual blinking is implemented > through a swing timer in src/net/sf/freecol/client/gui/TerrainCursor.java . > Does keeping the blinking active always when map is onscreen hamper > performance ? Probably not much, but I am not worried about performance. I am trying to preserve the intent of the existing code. Cheers, Mike Pope
