            Bug ID: 310999
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 2.9.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
           Summary: Inactive tabs should change colour on each activity,
                    not just the first
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: haakonn at gmail.com
          Hardware: Other
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: tabbar
           Product: konsole

When I have more than one tab open in Konsole, and something happens in one of
the tabs that are not currently active, the tab text changes colour to indicate
that something happened. That is extremely useful. But sometimes I expect
something to happen again and again, for instance a script which outputs
something every other second or so. In this case, I'm typically not interested
in just knowing when something happens, but also that something *continues* to
happen, and just as importantly, I want to know when something *stops*
happening - because that is when I want to switch to the tab and have a look.

I know about "Monitor for Activity", but this creates highly intrusive
notifications. My proposal is like this: have two activity-indicating colours
to cycle through on each activity event. That way, a very active tab will
"blink" with a frequency that exactly indicates the level of activity. And when
it's not blinking, you can conclude that there has been activity but it has
stopped for now.

So that is my feature request, and I hope you will consider it. Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
