Unity's sidebar "Window Urgent" animation not constant

[vitorgatti]

Let me explain:
- You are using an IM client;
- You are browsing the web with Firefox/Chrome/whatever;
- You receive a new IM message;
- What the system does? Sends a urgent notification to the message window.
- In Unity's sidebar, it works in a way that the program icon wiggles only once;
- Tiny triangles at the left part of the icon become blue.

THIS is the substitute to a constant urgent notification? Whoa, that's hard to notice. Specially when you were not looking to the screen when the notification occurred.

Like in any dock application, or Mac's dock, the icon keeps pulsing/wiggling/jumping until you click it.
I'd like to have that option in Unity's interface.

I searched CompizConfig Settings Manager and gconf-editor, but didn't find anything useful to change the behavior to what I want.

Can someone help me?

Thanks

OK, I tried Ubuntu Brainstorm, but it was denied for not being an idea.
So I'm trying to file a bug report about this "issue" that, in my opinion, is just a lack of optimization option.

Brainstorm Idea link:

Launchpad Bug Report link:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/776745

Any help is appreciated.

I was following your thread since you started it, and I totally agree!
At least the entire concerning button should be highlighted until the respective app gets the focus.

I'm saying that, although I haven't tried Unity yet.

So, still no way to make it wiggle until I click it?

No, not yet.
All we can do is support the bug report for now :/
