Blinking systray icon?

Can anyone tell me a good way to make a blinking systray icon? I want
it to alternate between two icons. I've tried toggling between two
notifyIcons and alternating the visible variable - but that makes the
taskbar blink.

I'm new to C# so I'm not really sure where the drawing mechanism takes
place, else I could probably just swap the notifyicon objects. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Hi,

Just use a timer and change the icon source, that;s all what you have to do,
I can send you the code I'm using if you want.

Cheers,
