the yellow fade technique
http://www.37signals.com/svn/archives/000558.php
>>
When you edit or move something on a web page it usually forces a reload
of that page. The problem is once the page reloads it’s often difficult
to spot and confirm the change (especially if the change occurred
somewhere in the middle of the page). The YFT uses JavaScript to create
a yellow highlight that briefly spotlights the change when the page
reloads. Then, in a second or two, the highlight fades and the page
reverts to its normal state. The YFT makes it super easy to spot
edits/changes yet its unobtrusive nature lets people quickly get back to
work once a modification is confirmed.

sounds very nice, whereas I would rather suggest that Lenya would offer
a menu item where one could generate a "yellow fade" view.
