Blink PM bar on new PM!

This is a very simple hack, yet I kinda like it.
Don't you just hate it when you write a long PM to someone, send it, and he doesn't even notice it?!

NO MORE!

Install this very easy hack and no one will be able to ignore the PM again.

This is almost just a template hack, but since it does involve editing a file and adding 4 lines of PHP code, it qualifies as a hack.
Sue me.

Anyway, what does this hack do?
Whenever you come to the forum main page, and you have any unread messages (even if they aren't new), the category strip that says "Private Messages" will blink.
Simple, but effective.

To see a demo of this, just send yourself a PM and see what happens. I'm sure you'll like it.

Installing this will take you 2 minutes if not less, it's very very simple.
I also don't expect too many support requests.

Anyway, have fun!

Works GREAT man!
Only problem I had is that both my categorybackcolor and my tableheadbgcolor are the same.
So at first I thought it wasnt blinking (cuz they were the same)
So like before anyone starts to say it doesnt work, try using THIS as your JS to test it:

<script language="JavaScript">
<!-- Begin
$pmblink pmBox.bgColor='#1D6AA0';
$pmblink setInterval("Timer()", 500);
$pmblink x=1;
 function Timer() {		x=1;
		set=0;
	}
	if(x==1 && set==1) {
		pmBox.bgColor='{*categorybackcolor*}';
	set=1;
	if(x==0 && set==1) {
		pmBox.bgColor='#336D95';

		x=0;
		set=0;
	}
}
// End -->
</script>

stick that in the end of forumhome_pmloggedin, REMOVE! the ** from {*categorybackcolor*} and send yourself a PM, and if it doesnt blink then, you probolly did something wrong.
