These properties allow you to add a blinking effect to your element, either by making the element appear and disappear or by changing its colors.

​
Blinking

  • Blink:
    Enable or disable blinking for your element.

    • Enabled: The element will toggle between visible and invisible at a defined frequency.
    • Disabled: The element will remain static without blinking.

  • Use Different for Blinking:
    When this option is enabled, the element will not disappear. Instead, its colors will alternate between the normal colors and the specified Foreground Color and Background Color during the blinking cycle.

    • This ensures that content stays visible at all times while still drawing attention through color changes.

​
Foreground Color

  • Defines the alternative foreground color used when the element is in its “blink” state.
  • Can be used, for example, to change text color during blinking.

​
Background Color

  • Defines the alternative background color used when the element is in its “blink” state.
  • Works well in combination with the foreground color to create a strong visual effect.

​
Remarks

  • Synchronization:
    Blinking effects are automatically synchronized between different Viewers. This ensures that blinking occurs simultaneously on all screens in a networked setup.

  • Blink Frequency:
    The frequency at which blinking occurs is controlled at the page level to ensure consistent timing across elements on the same page.

  • Compatibility:
    Not all properties (such as color change during blinking) are available for every type of element. This may depend on the element’s nature and content type.

Tip

Using different colors for blinking (instead of making the element invisible) can act as a color inversion effect — making the element stand out while keeping the content visible. This approach is useful when you want to emphasize important information without hiding it.
