Is it possible to make text item blink in sitemap ? I have some warning information to display as in different colours but if I could make it blink as well that would be fab.
If anyone knows the command to implement the above please let me know.
I’ve not tested this but I think you can use HTML formatting in your label. Try “My Item label” and see what happens. If it doesn’t work, the answer is probably no.

I’m fairly certain it can be done with an XML encoded SVG image…
To do this in BasicUI is far from trivial.
There are ways to insert your own scripts and styling, see this topic:
However, elements in BasicUI do not have specific identifiers for elements within the UI, so you would need to perform the styling based on the content of the element with Javascript. Something like, for example, find the element which content starts with "Warning message: ", and if the content of that element includes something like “front door is open”, apply a style which makes it blink orange.
And of course you could extend this as much as you like.
But that would mean you’d have to completely tailor it to your specific needs and to the specific content that can appear in the text item.
i was just thinking about this topic and got the idea to make an item and let it change its value with a rule like every second. according to the state i can use conditional formatting in yaml.
