I find the blinking annoying too. I used some graphics editor (don't remember which, maybe it was Gimp) to tinker with the blink rate, until I got them to blink very slowly.

As for your yellow issue, you can modify duration of yellow notifications in
your xymonserver.cfg file using options on the XYMONGENOPTS line. I've done
this so it doesn't show 'recent' icons for longer than 3 hours. You can do a
lot of customization in there.
Hi Kris. Thanks for that. I am pretty much OK with many of the defaults, and
the the default (I think 240mins, 4 hours) for the 'recent' icons is OK for
me. I am not always at the workstation, and the longer history is sometimes
useful to me. Heck, now that you mention it, I may increase it. lol
I've also created my own custom icon themes to
fix the blinking and annoyance of some of the default icons and colors.
I am using the custom icon set that I think is called "LED". They have a nice
sharp look, but they all blink in unison and about 2 time/second so a page of
flashing icons gets a bit annoying rather quickly.
I am no graphics person, but would love to see a set of icons similar to the
LED ones I am using, but with a slower, fading in/out rather than flashing on
the animated icons. :)
Thanks for the reply Kris
Bill
