Comment 5 for bug 793788

I certainly agree that we want to avoid having the user miss slides because they don't know they are changing. We must avoid that. It's even worse because they can't go back if they miss a slide. That's a significant failing of the current version, too. The current slide (and web page) change attention mechanism still isn't good enough. Flashing the title of the Session Tab is only marginally better than changing its text bold or a different color, although I'm not sure that's what Nathan was really suggesting. IIRC, blinking text is deprecated because it makes the very thing you want the user to read hard to read, and because users find it annoying.

Beyond those issues I get very nervous.

I'd like to mull this over. It deserves careful thought.
