i use this on a waveshare rp2040-one, and it works great (on 5.8; 5.10 seems to be broken on every application and os i tried) but currently the onboard neopixel is configured to flash red at max brightness which is somewhat annoying (to me at least)

maybe, for boards that have a neopixel, configure it to use different colours and brightness for the status? (dim green for active, flashing bright orange for intent check, etc.)

The behavior of the neopixel has been changed in the devlopment version, it's still blinking at full brightness though.
I would suggest to use a steady lighting in the idle state, and maybe dimm it a bit. As having something constantly blinking on my desk is pretty annoying (to me as well).

It shouldn't be changed, I added support for colors, but nothing about the brightness. In idle mode it should blink slowly. Doesn't it happen?

That's what I meant, the color changed. I could try to investigate how to make it steady if you like.
