Restyle the tick, spinner and error banner Total CMS shows when someone sends a form: seven styles, your own colours, messages and icons, and a live preview. No page edits needed.
FreeNeeds Standard or ProTotal CMS 3.6.0+
When a visitor sends a Total CMS form, Total CMS covers the screen with a spinner, then a big tick or a red error message. Blip Notice lets you change how that looks across your whole site, without editing a single page. It's for anyone whose forms (contact, bookings, sign-ups) should feel like part of their design rather than a stock overlay.
Blip Notice adds one page to your admin sidebar:
- Seven styles: Total CMS's own look, Frosted glass, Minimal, Solid, Toast (a small card in a corner, so the page stays visible), Bar (a slim bar at the top or bottom) and Hidden.
- Options: your own colours for sending, sent, error and warning; your own "sending" and "sent" messages; six other icons for "sent"; icon size; a bounce or fade animation; blur; and where the toast or bar sits.
- Custom CSS for anything else, with the banner's selectors explained on the page.
- A live preview of your changes over a stand-in page, at full or phone width. Play the real sequence, or hold any state while you adjust it.
Your public pages use the new look as soon as you save, even pages that are cached. The admin keeps Total CMS's own banner, and Reset puts Total CMS's banner back on your site.
Upload the zip in Settings → Extensions, enable it, and open Blip Notice in the sidebar. Pick a style, adjust the options, watch the preview, and click Save. That's all. To leave one particular form with no banner, give it the class no-status-banner.
- Free, on any edition of Total CMS 3.6 or later.
- Your page templates must include {{ cms.assetsBody() }}. Site Builder's templates do, and Total CMS's own form script loads through it too.
- It needs the Public Routes and Frontend Assets permissions, which are on when you first install it. It adds one small script to your public pages, which loads your saved style.
- Visitors who ask their device for less motion get no animation.
- Updates install from the Blip Notice page in one click, checksum-verified.

Get the zip from Speedy Websites (opens in a new tab), then drop it on Install Extension on the admin’s Extensions screen. It stays off until you enable it. Or from the command line:
tcms extension:install ~/Downloads/blip-notice.zip
Utilities
One admin page that checks your whole site: broken pages, missing SEO descriptions and alt text, extension errors and server health. Pro checks on a schedule and emails you when something breaks.
Access Control
Memberships built on Total CMS's own logins: sign-up, login and account pages, members-only pages, and an admin page to approve and manage members.
Utilities
See how every Site Builder page is built: a wireframe of its layout, templates, partials and blocks, showing where to edit each part. Pro adds a site map and a check for loose ends.
Content
Take bookings for classes, events and accommodation, with capacity limits, a waitlist, approvals and automatic emails. Pro adds Stripe payments, a customer page and repeating sessions.
Utilities
Sort your Total CMS images into albums: drag, select and reorder on one admin page, then show any album as a gallery on your site. Your images are never moved or changed.
Speedy Websites sells it and supports it, and it installs on your own Total CMS site. No site yet? The trial is 45 days of every Pro feature, no credit card.
