options -> IRC -> Options click on for channel or msg
or try this in a remotes file
on *:text:*:*: flash -r3
tried this to make it manual
//.timer 1 3 flash -r3 | showmirc -n
it shrinks mIRC but doesnt take away its focus, so you still have to click another item on the tool bar to have $appactive be false/null
