What do you mean when you say change the JFrame color? The title bar color or the background color? There's a method (inherited from Component), setBackground() to change the background color. I don't know if it's possible to change the title bar color (I think that's a Windows thing) as is the blinking. This might not be of any use, but once when writing a VB application, I noticed that the minimized app in the task bar started blinking when the program received some information. That must be a Windows thing, but maybe it's possible to write some code that would make Windows make it blink.

To do that you will have to write a C program that calls the windows API. Then you can use the JNI to call your C program from Java. For more information on how to do this, see the JNI documentation on sun's web site.
