Screen flashing

Post by michael.heuberger » 04 Feb 2014 09:28

Wonderful app, love it!

But how can I let the screen flash? Such an action seems to be missing.

For example upon SMS arrival, blink, do something colorful to cause attention for few seconds. How can I do that?

Cheers
Michael

Currently, you can't make it colorful, but you can certainly play with the screen brightness and make it look like it's pulsing using a loop, maybe.

Hi,

With the next version of Automagic you can display a custom widget anywhere on the screen so you could create an alert-image-widget and use action Show Custom Widget Overlay to display or periodically show/hide this widget.

Regards,
Martin

Wonderful. Looking forward to that version!

Make sure these notifications can also appear on the lock screen!
