Since I often have a Xymon display running either in a VM that's VPN'd
to a different project network, or displayed on a remote desktop
display, the constant display change from the "blinking", "winking" and
"pulsing" icons drive a lot of unnecessary network traffic and/or CPU time.
Not to mention they will just drive you crazy!

We ripped out the blinkers and installed a new set of "calm" .png files. 
We then sym-linked the old .gif names to new .png names and moved on 
with our lives.
Do I need to dig back into the BigBrother files to find the
non-blinkers, am I just looking in the wrong place (or for the wrong
names), or do I need to make some new ones?  They used to be called
"nb-red.gov", "nb-yellow.gif" and "nb-purple.gif", at least on my
BigBrother server.
The green/red/etc.gif files are non-blinking, but they are used for 
"older" alerts. The green/red/etc-recent.gif files are blinkers. I don't 
think there are any other non-blinkers.
