Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/8215

State: closed
Merged: Yes


The terminal taskbar icon can now flash when the BEL sequence is
emitted, to let the user know something needs their attention.

The BellStyle setting can now be set to audible, visual or both or
none. When the pane receives a BEL event and the bellStyle includes
visual, we bubble the event up all the way to AppHost to handle
flashing the taskbar.

Closes #1608
