Rarescanner - Is it possible to make the WoW taskbar icon flash?
Hey guys,
Is it possible to have the WoW taskbar icon flash when a rare pops up? When I'm rare farming I don't play with sound, so that horn is no good to me. What I would like is for the icon to flash in the same way it does when your LFR queue pops. The way I watch for rares now is such a pain in the ass. Basically I have to keep my mouse hovered over the WoW taskbar icon and have my eyes peeled constantly on the little preview window that pops up. If I could get the icon to flash instead, I won't have to worry about that at all anymore. Thank you and here's the dancing banana meme from 700 years ago :banana: |
The games task bar is out of our control. It will flash dependant on what is happening. For example: If I am alt tabbed when someone attacks me it will flash the task bar .. but it won't flash to tell me I have alt tabbed too long and gone AFK. It will flash if I receive a whisper but not if there is a guild chat.
So, maybe, if the addon gives you the option, turn on whisper mode so that it alerts you with a whisper. Just a thought. And if not available, you could either see if you can add that feature in yourself or ask the developers to. |
I actually tried that as well, but I think the addon's "whisper" function isn't technically a whisper because although it does come through, it doesn't make the icon flash like a normal whisper from a person would.

Try call FlashClientIcon()

FlashClientIcon() - Flashes the game client icon in the Operating System. No details about it on wowpedia so I am guessing it is either clear usage or not utilised/figured out yet. |

It's documented now and clear usage. You're welcome |
Thanks for the tip!
Unfortunately I now have to ask how I can actually make that work with the addon. Do I need to make a custom macro or is there a setting in the addon that I can add that line too? |

Gotcha, thanks. I'll have to do some research.
