Well, I got tired of hitting F5, so being familiar with autohotkey (first google hit), I wrote up the following.
It sends an F5 keypress, waits 7 seconds (slow internet), checks the color at the cursor (In this case the white area for your e-mail notification) and repeats if its white. if its not white (its in stock, no notify window), then it beeps at me.
Copy the below into a text file.
$F5::
loop
{
Send {F5}
Sleep 7000
MouseGetPos, MouseX, MouseY
PixelGetColor, color, %MouseX%, %MouseY%
IfNotEqual, color, 0xFFFFFF
{
SoundBeep, 750, 700
exit
}
}
Stop copying.
just put that in a text file, rename it n4.ahk for example, install autohot key, right click the file and run script, then put your mouse over the e-mail entry box and hit F5 key. keep the cursor near the top right corner of the e-mail field.
Note I've yet to see it go back to stock, but it does work if I move the cursor over to the blackish area. I'd adjust the sleep time to your reload speed.

Ah, yes I think that check4change is easier.
There was an option for not reloading the entire page for Java related things, would that work in this case? I'm having it check the "Coming soon" text.

out of nowhere...when im in landscape mood...i type in the 10 digit number im about to send a text to..then i hit the D pad down...and no nothing happens...it always would scroll down to the text box and then i would start typing now i just stays in the box where i insert the phone number...
any fix =\
I'm assuming you've checked it isn't just a case of the d-pad no longer following the screen orientation? As in if you press what has become 'left' on the d-pad, the cursor focus doesn't helpfully go down a line as you need?
I just rooted my Nook Color, and I'm having a strange issue. When I long press on some menus, I will receive the pop up box but the text will be missing.
For example - I open File Manager and long press on a file. The icons appear, but the words are blank. Once I touch the item i want, THEN the text will appear briefly (ie. Copy, Paste)
It's not just on File Manger though - which I've uninstalled/reinstalled.
Any ideas?

This is a problem with the way that the B&N software is themed. The menus where this happens has text, it's just white on white making it in effect invisible. There's not a solution yet that I'm aware of, but in some apps you can hold your finger on the menu options which highlights them, making them legible.
Thanks
Thanks for the reply. I was about to start "unrooting" to see if i'd done something wrong. Other than that, this thing is great!
Since upgrading to Gingerbread I have been aware of the new text selection features, i.e. dragging the little pin to move the cursor. What I can't get right though is selecting text.
Previously I could double-tap and drag in order to highlight words, which made sense, but now whenever I double-tap anything, I get the "Cut" and "Copy" menu before I can even start to drag. The two separate pins don't ever appear that way.
The only way I can seem to make it work is by holding on a word, picking "Select word" and then dragging the two pins when they appear, which seems a little drawn out compared to before.
Anyone any clues? Have the gestures changed? Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it works now? Wondering if someone with a Nexus S or other custom Gingerbread ROMs can also confirm.
I don't know in which apps you have tried this, but the way it works in the browser and gmail (checked right now) is that you:
1.Tap and hold to go into text-selection mode
2.Drag your finger over the text you want to copy
3.Adjust with arrows as you see fit
4.Click on the selected text to copy it
5.Profit

Ah ha, I see, that seems to work for reading emails and web pages. I was more meaning inside text-entry boxes like in the SMS app, Google Talk, etc.
My Note has developed an infuriating fault which only happens in notepad apps, which is: I touch the screen in an notepad file and the QWERTY keyboard appears. All good. But when I start to type, although the cursor moves (sometimes to the right, often down a line or two or three first and then to the right) no text appears on screen. However, when I then exit the QWERTY keyboard, the text miraculously appears. This has only started recently and I'm very keen to get to the bottom of it. My notepad of choice is "Note Everything", but I've now duplicated the problem in two other notepad apps. Can anyone please offer any suggestions as to what might be going on here? Many thanks.
Hi boys n gals. I have a weird one and can not figure it out.
I recently noticed that whenever I use s pen and press on a text field inside chrome it will not bring up on screen kb. It will pop if I point to address bar or any other text field within system but not anything in chrome in webpages or Google search bar on Google page. Even here on title or text box, when I bring the pen near screen it shows the blue draw icon that I am sure it didn't before and that's it, it does nothing. Sometimes the blue draw icon wont show, just the small dot . On screen kb comes on fine if I press these fields with finger but not with s pen. I'm lost, I tried the usual restart tablet clear caches but no bueno. Anyone have any pointers ?
Thank you
