how to disable flashing WOW window on taskbar ?

Xalcon on discord created on addon that disables it.

Just run this script if you dont want the addon (have to run it everytime wow loads): /run FlashClientIcon = function() end
 
There is no option yet to disable it for just WoW. There are a lot of topics on the EU and US WoW forums about this, but no solution yet.

What you can do is disable the flashing tiles in the taskbar alltogether using the Windows registry:

Open the Start menu, do a search for regedit, and run it as an administrator.

Browse the following path:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

Find and double-click the entry:
Code:
ForegroundFlashCount
and change the Value data field to 0.

Make sure:
Code:
ForegroundLockTimeout
Also has a value of 0.

I've already tried this, doesn't work.
 
any non aids way to make this only disable the flashing for when your char engages in combat? i would still want the flashing when i get a whisper or when a lfg pops
Everything is possible, but this would require way more work than this single line in the addon.
Currently I just override the function with an empty function. I have an idea how I could do it instead - but not promises.

Edit
I've updated the Addon.
It now allows to configure in which cases the icon on your taskbar is allowed to flash. The configuration is done in the !NoFlash.lua file. Just open it with your favorite text editor (i.e. Notepad++, Sublime Text, etc) and edit the settings at the top of the file.
The addon supports the following filters:
  • Flash on Whisper (Default: true)
  • Flash on enter combat (Default: false)
  • Flash on role select (Default: false)
  • Flash on pvp invite (Default: false)
  • Flash on lfg invite (Default: false)
  • Flash on ready check (Default: false)
  • Flash on for anything else, like from addons, etc (Default: true)

I've submitted it to curse and wait for approval - should be up soon.
I also found a bug while using it myself. It seems the flash on LFG invites isnt suppressed properly - you can work around that by setting the "FlashFromUnknownSource" option to false.
I'll take a closer look when I've time for it :)
