Like some others, I found the new indicators somewhat annoying in my first runs after the patch. But it did not take me long to get used to them and I much prefer them now. The timing of the pulses is totally irrelevent. If you're in it, get out. The pulse is there to catch your eye, so you'll notice it even if you fail to spot the colour, which is quite hard to miss.

Overall, i'd say good job with this change, devs.
