The patch is simply not general enough for consideration.

A better approach would be to add an "activity_msg" config option, which could be customized by the user (and could use the existing escape system to choose how to color).

Closing, because I wouldn't be willing to write the appropriate solution without more interest from others. But I'd be happy to accept a patch such as I've just described.

Attached is a patch that alters screen behaviour for activity in windows. Instead of displaying the usual message ('activity in window xxx'), screen will now colour in red the relevant window title, if the user chooses to show the windows list in the hardstatus line. I also attach a screenshot that shows this behaviour in action.

DRAWBACKS:
- right now you cannot choose the highlight color, it is
fixed to red. But I can easily expose that to the
config file.
- my patch replaces the 'activity in window xxx' message,
but it is trivial to make the two coexist.

If there is interest to merge my patch, I will gladly make any adjustments that you deem necessary (most likely the drawbacks I listed above, but I'm open to any suggestion). The patch was made for screen 4.0.2, but applies (and works) cleanly on 4.0.3 as well.
