Well you can control that, you know.  Look in PP2.2a's "Prefs" 
menu and you'll probably see a checkmark next to "Color 1."
Check "pointer" instead and your mouse pointer will flash 
different colors instead of the whole screen when you run a
packed program. 

What PP needs is a 'config' file to save parameter changes
so one can customize the menu choices to his liking and have
the program load with those settings each time it's run. 

PP is a terrific program.  The script mode is brilliant.
I've seen a lot of expensive commercial software that isn't
written as well and doesn't perform as well as this.
