 Replying to [comment:1 azaozz]:
 > The reason it was switched to fading is that jQuery doesn't support
 color animations by default and the plugin needed for this is slowing the
 loading.
 Right, okay. jquery-color isn't marked as deprecated (as jquery-form), so
 I didn't catch that.

 > Perhaps we can make the fade more subtle, fading to 0.7 or 0.75 instead
 of 0.5, etc.
 > Also the color animation was almost invisible on most flat screens (tn
 panels) as they have deficiencies in showing fine color nuances.
 Fair enough. I think it needs to be either a little more subtle, or a
 quicker effect.

 I tried out the pulse at twice the speed, still animating between .5 and 1
 opacity, and found it more noticeable yet less irritating than the drawn
 out animation. Patch attached with the values.
