Description Yves-Alexis Perez editbugs 2008-04-08 16:25:59 CEST
Hi,

a Debian user asked if it was possible to change the tab color when there is background activity (a bit like irssi, or as the initial bug reported said, multi-gnome-terminal).

It would be a nice feature to have.

Cheers,

Patch -p0

Here is a patch to do that. it doesn't allow for configuration (color, timeout) yet, and sets the background tabs that have activity to red for two seconds.

This second patch adds preferences (timeout and color).

Third revision: avoid setting the activity flag on the active tab (so that it doesn't get highlighted when switching away from it), and reset it to FALSE when activating a tab.

fix_activity_on_size_change.patch

I've noticed that all background tabs get activity when resizing the terminal. The attached patch fixes that.
