The spectrum of attention-grabbiness, if you want to think of it that
way, is:
- outline
- dimmed
- full mono
- green
- orange
- red
We don't flash :-)
The coloured wants-attention messaging icon was nuked at my request
because it was 3D, and our icons should be flat. I'm expecting a flat
green version that we can test, soon. Yesterday would have been nice :-)
The real question is one of taste and urgency. How urgent is a message,
really? If it's something that we never want anyone to miss, we should
go green. Otherwise, we could use the raise from dim to bright mono.

We should use outline-to-full to indicate that there are messaging apps
running.
