Screen Flash Notification

Screen Flash Action

The Screen Flash action overlays a color on the game screen to draw your attention. You can choose the color, the style of the flash, and how long it lasts.

Fields

Color

The color of the flash overlay. Click the color swatch to open a color picker.

Flash Mode

How the color is applied to the screen:

Mode	Effect
Flash	Alternates between the color and transparent at a fixed rhythm
Smooth Flash	Fades in and out smoothly
Solid	Holds a solid color overlay for the entire duration

Duration (seconds)

How long the flash lasts.

• 0 — the flash stays until you click on the game screen (click-to-dismiss). Useful for critical alerts that require acknowledgment.
• Any positive value — the flash automatically clears after that many seconds.

Notes

• The flash is visible only in your own client.
• Default color and duration values can be configured in the Watchdog plugin settings panel (the gear icon in RuneLite's plugin list).
• Screen Flash is one of the most effective ways to get attention when tabbed in but not actively watching the screen.
