Click on "General" at left of main config screen.

Click on "Miscellaneous Options" button.

At bottom of new window is "Advanced Options for Magnifying Docks" "Attention" Effect

Select Bounce.

Only standard docks can use bounce, tabbed docks won't.  Don't think you actually have to have magnification turned on, but maybe.

As far as I know, there is no additional option such as "until gets focus" or such, or to adjust timing of bounce, it just bounces or it doesn't.

Happy bouncing.

I have a question that is in line with this. I have the bounce feature checked and they bounce fine! AFTER I click on them. Any emails, IM's or anything else that requires my attention such as a program ending (DVD Decrypter comes to mind) never bounces. Or glows, or rocks or any of the other effect options. The minute I click on the icon to check, it starts bouncing then. If I didn't have my email set up to give a verbal notice, I'd never know if I had new email unless I open the window.

Is there any way to fix this? In the background programming even? I'd really like the icons to bounce when they're supposed to.

Thanks!
