Description
The desktop app works pretty well so far but there is one small missing feature that can get annoying. I'm trying to use the chat as a semi-replacement for other messaging clients but it can be hard to tell if I have new unread messages waiting, so it'd be nice if there was an option to enable the Windows tray blinking (I think it's this) for the client, so that it would be made much more obvious when there's new unread messages, pretty much any other chat client does this so to me missing this feels a little unexpected, and it'd be nice to have.

Start with Electron's BrowserWindow win.flashFrame API linked in the issue, then trace how the desktop client detects new unread chat messages and presents notifications. Done means an optional Windows taskbar flashing behavior is triggered for new unread messages without changing other platforms.
