Fun with #STYLE in v3.09
 
The #STYLE command in v3.09 now supports a numeric value for the style name, allowing you to change one of the internal style records. Currently, the following are supported:

0: default text style
1: information messages
2: command echo
3: timestamp
4: urls

There are some fun uses for this. Here are a couple:

Flashing the screen
Code:
#ALIAS flash {
  #STYLE 0 {back:red}
  #WAIT 50
  #STYLE 0 {back:black}
}

Showing if unix shell is in SU mode
Code:
#TRIGGER {~$ $} {#STYLE 0 {black,white}} "" "prompt"
#TRIGGER {# $} {#STYLE 0 {black,red}} "" "prompt"

In my case, my unix shell has a prompt that ends with $ when in normal user mode, and a prompt that ends in # when in SU mode.

The SU example is one of the features that I wanted to offer with TeSSH, which is why I went ahead and did this feature now. But I know people have asked about flashing the screen in the past too.

Flashing the screen will be very nice for when I have the speakers off and I want to get my attention.
