Please stop blinking
« on: October 31, 2007, 08:12:00 am »

Does anyone know how to make the game not blink every item that is currently designated and accessible. Blinking lights give me migraines and this is driving me nuts. It's one thing for the currently active items to blink9the ones a dwarf is working on), but this everything blinking gives me headaches.

Toady mentioned in another thread that he'd made designated stuff blink so that you could see what type of stone it was even after it had been designated. Obviously, this has no effect for trees and shrubs and stuff. I think he said he might stop them blinking in the next version. Personally I'd prefer the stones to be non-blinking too, but I can see how it's kinda useful.

The option to turn it off would please me immensely as well.

Options are better than just having it on/off only.

This is a fox skull helmet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. It menaces with spikes of fox bone and is encircled with bands of fox leather. This item is haunted by the ghost of Alfador Angrorung the fox.

If Toady adds an option to turn blinking off, I'll stop playing DF and probably commit suicide.
