Description Emmanuel C 2004-12-05 23:29:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
Compiler:          gcc 
OS:                Linux

Some blinking text (and the cursor) can be displayed in a console window. But the frequency of the associated timer cannot be specified. It would be nice if this value was no more hard-coded.

Value of these timers are in file TEWidget.cpp at lines 774 (for the text) and 817 (for the cursor).

A link could be maid with Bug 17755

there is no way to change without recompile KDE?
Can be a commandline option or another way.
Regards. Great job

I think this reaches into the area of excessive customisation.  If at all possible, I would really like to try and pick a better value for the default and leave it at that.

Perhaps. My idea cames from the fact that with the actual parameters, the 
blinking text is not easy to read. I have another idea which doesn't need any 
configuration : asynchronous blinking.
The text is displayed about 75 % of the cycle, and disappeared 25 % of the 
time. In this case, the text is style blinking, but can be read easily.
