Active cell in table, make blink or otherwise noticable?

Hello everyone,
 
I am working on a simple vi which takes data and plots in in the active cell of a table.  Active cell background color is determined by input data,  but is their another sort of blinking or indicator feature I could possibly use to better see the active cell?
 
I have thought maybe I could make the cell background color blink by modifying its color input,  but this could cause the blinks secondary color to be plotted as background.
 
I have also thought of "blinking" a font property,  such as bold.  This would cause the same issue as above.
 
What I would really like is a transparency of color for the active cell,  basically leaving a different background color as it leaves the cell.  Im not sure if their is any way to do this,  but any sort of better active cell indication would be helpful.
 
Here is my vi,  input data 10-18 and toggle XY.
 
Any tips are greatly appreciated!

One possibility would be to blink it using the timeout case. You simply need to ensure to write the correct color when you leave the cell.
 
The attached modification (LabVIEW 8.0) show a quick draft. See if it makes sense to you. 😄
