I'm not really a fan of the system button as it is not obvious that it is actually a control that the user can click on. I've just installed Outlook 2007 and when you create a new mail the system button flashes/pulsates. I like this as it draws your attention. The pulsating stops once you have used the system button once.

Is there an easy way to create this effect using the Codejock control?

Thanks

Pete

Could use a timer to rotate\change the IconId of the button.

OK, that sounds reasonable and easy to implement too. I don't suppose an animated GIF could be used?
