I'm thinking about removing flash from rules, e.g. converting existing "flash" into "hint". The idea was that ABA with default settings wouldn't show any flashing animation. However, there are two settings the user could use to get the flashing animation:

• there is a global setting to show "hint" as flash,
• there is a per-spell setting to promote to flash.

I would change the latter to a multiple choice labelled "flash on" with the following options: "hint", "good or bad border", "missing", which should cover most use cases (including the "invert" option).

Any thought ?

I think flash is cool for interrupts, dispels and abilities that are available only for a short period of time (the last are mostly covered by the default ui though).

I would find an option to globally change the hint and the flash animations nice.

There is already an option to change the hint animation globally, though it is limited to "none", "rotary star" and "flashing animation". If someone managed to create new interesting animations, I could add them.

I wouldn't change the "flash" animation though, as its purpose is to mimic the Blizzard one.
