Don't flash with only one client visible?

[majamin]

Is it possible to have an option that prevents a client from flashing when it is the only visible window on the screen?

Is the 'flash-lone-windows' config option what you're looking for maybe?

Yes. Thanks so much.

EDIT: I tried this option, but lone windows still flash (dwm)

Hmm config option is working fine for me on i3/sway... Do you use a status bar by chance?

I also have this issue on i3, and I do have Polybar running.

I set flash-lone-windows: 'never' and it still flashes when I have lone windows, e.g. Firefox in a desktop, and stacked windows as well.

Thanks for the added detail @jpmvferreira that's very helpful. Should have time to look into this in a week or so, (but obviously feel free to grab it if you're interested)
