RE: How to make tasbar button blink once
Notifications are a build-in Plus! feature, thus this doesn't have anything to do with scripting. As such, I will request this thread to be moved to the appropiate section.

The blinking is done by calling a Windows API. Only by altering the parameters of this API (or by calling another API) the blinking can be controlled (eg: blink only X times and then keep the taskbar button highlighted). This means that this depends on how Plus! was programmed. So, in normal circumstances you can not change this behaviour yourself.

However, I've seen some 3rd party programs which can, in certain circumstances, change how Windows executes this blinking and thus can alter this (for every program in general). Also, if I'm not mistaken, there are some advanced Windows settings which can change the default blinking behaviour.
