Timer should "blink" when only x seconds remain.

Hello,
We do not have speakers connected to our computer that is using the kiosk software, so the user is sometimes surprised when the timer expires.
(ie: If they are not paying attention, or perhaps too occupied with what they are doing..)
Is it possible to make the countdown timer "flash" (blink) when X seconds remain?
The idea is that when there are perhaps 60 seconds left, the timer will blink just a little bit (slow, once per second). And then when there are perhaps 10 seconds left the timer will change to blink rapidly to show it is very close to expiry.
For example, in the administrator settings area you could add two new settings:
---------
Timer should blink slowly when [_] seconds remain and blinkrapidly when when [_] seconds remain.
---------
Slow blink = 1 blink every second.
Rapid blink = 5 blinks every second (to get user attention!)
Thanks!
