is it possible to change the colour of  the flashing messenger in task bar?

Use a visual style?

can a script be made to do this

No.  The colour depends on the Theme you are using.  Some themes even have a little LED look-a-like thing that flashes instead of a different colour.  So it depends too much on your visual style.

ok

thanks

The windows theme you are using.  It changes the appearance of windows and the start bar and such.  You can download new ones from DeviantArt and WinCustomize.  But you need to either patch windows or use a program like StyleXP or WindowBlinds to use themes not made by microsoft.

One theme you can get without doing that is the Royale  Theme made by microsoft.

Although with a DLL and some hooking trickery, it may be possible to alter the colour. However, such a task won't be easy at all.

if someone could spend time making this script to altar the colour i would be forever grateful

But surely that would only be possible when you know that the theme is?  Or you might get the default windows flashing but in another colour, over the top of some other visual style.
