I figured out the blinking text as well...

I had to create two new "Global" phrases:

private_messages_blink =

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function blinkIt() {
 if (!document.all) return;
 else {
   for(i=0;i<document.all.tags('blink').length;i++){
      s=document.all.tags('blink')[i];
      s.style.visibility=(s.style.visibility=='visible')?'hidden':'visible';
   }
 }
}
</script>
<blink><a href="private.php{3}"><font color="#C00000">Private Messages</font></a></blink>

private_messages_nav_blink=

Code:

{1}, {2}.

Add the following to your headinclude template (set the time interval as you wish)=

Code:

<body onload="setInterval('blinkIt()',500)">

Then change your navbar as follows:

Change this:

Code:

<if condition="$show['notifications'] AND $show['popups']">
			<div><span id="notifications"><a href="usercp.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[your_notifications]:</a> <strong>$notifications_total</strong></span></div>
			<script type="text/javascript"> vBmenu.register("notifications"); </script>
		<else /><if condition="$show['pmstats']">
			<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></div>
		</if></if>

To this:

Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['pmunread'] AND $show['popups']">
			<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_blink]: $vbphrase[private_messages_nav_blink]</phrase></div>
		<else /><if condition="$show['pmstats']">
			<div><phrase 1="$vbphrase[unread_x_nav_compiled]" 2="$vbphrase[total_x_nav_compiled]" 3="$session[sessionurl_q]">$vbphrase[private_messages_nav]</phrase></div>
		</if></if>

Now this Non Redundant Notifications mod along with Cyb - PM Enhancement mod ... and the above, will get your background color changing and a red blinking "Private Messages" linked to your /private.php page.

I know this is a bona fide redneck hillbilly way of doing it, but it works for me in FF and IE... at http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums

Maybe someone can put all this together and make it easier. There is probably a way to get the color into the Javascript code as well, but I was getting lazy since what I've got now works.
