Urgent

Urgent is an internal flag that is set if:

• a _NET_WM_DEMANDS_ATTENTION client message is received for a window or
• the window manager hints of the window has the urgency hint flag set or
• if a _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW client message is received for a windows and the FocusOnNetActive is not enabled

The Urgent flag is automatically removed when the client window receives focus.

A client marked with the Urgent flag may be drawn with a different color scheme depending on the context. This also applies to the icon of the workspace the client resides on.
