Blinking `cursor_color` in normal mode

[tkna91]

I thought it might be easier to recognize cursor_color as an indicator if it blinks when warpd --normal is enabled.

[rvaiya]

This should now be possible by settingnormal_blink_interval.

Thanks. Somehow I think the flashing is hard to recognize. is it a wayland problem?

I believe this should be fixed in the latest commit.

warpd seems to be crashing on the latest and stable version of sway. Should I create a new issue? Sorry if I am doing something wrong. 20221123-224953.log

Sorry, the previous commit broke a few things. Can you try the latest one?

Still can't seem to get it to work. (sway-im-git has incorporated this patch, but it probably won't affect it. https://github.com/swaywm/sway/pull/5890 ) 20221124-133043.log

It seems my wayland optimizations also introduced a multi screen bug. Can you try one more time?

Crashes no longer occur. However, the cursor_color does not seem to flash

Done. Thanks!

If it's not too hard, it might be nice if the user could adjust the look by specifying a time duration for the light to turn on and off, as shown below.

normal_blink_interval: 500 200

[rvaiya]

specifying a time duration for the light to turn on and off, as shown below.

Can you elaborate? I'm not sure what this means.

[tkna91]

It means that it would be nice to be able to specify the ON and OFF times of the blinking respectively.

[rvaiya]

Ah, I see. This has been added to the latest commit.

[tkna91]

Thanks. However, the ON status seems to flicker a bit.

The wayland code isn't well optimized and has some limitations. I've included a temporary fix in the latest commit, but you might notice other performance issues which are non trivial to fix. In general, wayland is not well support (a thing I hope to remedy in the keyd implementation).
