Dear Dragonbyte,
Since the last update I noticed the tabs change to yellow when there's a new message.
My suggestion is to use an image like the default vbulletin image on images/gradients/grey-up.png, for the background of the tab.
This is a transparent image so when you make the tab yellow, it will still have the effect of the background image but in yellow.
To make it even more noticeable you could make it blink with a javascript timer that switches background color every xxx miliseconds
Regards,
MainFrame
