It woud be nice if Computers have an controllable LED in front of it like the disk drive, when a floppy is inside.

Uses:
PLEASE WAIT! I'M WORKING…

NEW MESSAGE!

WAKE UP!

IT'S DONE!

And it woud be awesome if the LED is RGB

NOTE

They have an 1x2 black area of the front!
That woud be a nice place for it!

Everyone can install peripherals (until you are playing on a Server you don't own).

I agree with that, its a wonderfull Idea. If you use Peripherals you need more space. And maybe color changeable on Advanced and unchangeable on normal ones

I am personally using term.setCursorBlink(boolean bool) for that.
IF its true then computer has blinking bar on front if false its not there.
So if computer is blinking then its ether in shell(crashed) or my program wants something.

Oh, I didn´t get tho purpose of this function right until now, but you can´t set its color on advanced computers

Well its more of side effect then purpose. It changes blinking state on cursor on computer screen. As side effect it changes looks of computer from outside too. So it is useful for signaling that way,

I would really love to see this.

IIRC the cursor has to be on the screen, visible, for the texture to be animated. Which means you'll have a blinking cursor on the screen.

If I am using it as notification light I am not using screen at the time anyways. But I need to test the position thing thanks.
