Will my new EVO do this: orange blink for new mail, green for new text msg?

Finally jumped into the water and dumped my Tour for a shiney new EVO yesterday!

So far so good...but in my effort to get my new phone to do the things I *liked* about my blackberry, I'm trying to get "Blink" like notifications.

My question:

Is there an app, or setting that will make the LED blink one color when a new email is received, and a different color when a new text or MMS message is received?

It looks like there is just orange or green color options, which pales to blackberry's spectacular multi-color LED, but two will get the job done.

Your advice is greatly appreciated!

**Edit/Update**
Wimax Notifier is functioning on my stock froyo EVO, and offers 3 color notifications(Red,Green,& Orange) from the notification lights located on the upper *right* of the grill. Perfect for getting a visible notification of new text on the right, and new email on the left. Here's the link provided by tryandls for convenience:

I just downloaded it and it's a no go.. I tried every color and it stays on green and no other option works....I never thought of wanting it to change colors but now that it was brought up i want it I would like to have the different blinks that would be cool.
 
This would be nice. Coming from my Blackberry, I had the app Berry Buzz and i could customize the LED a different color for every type of notification. I do miss that.
 
Wait...what!?!? There's an LED on the right side of the earpiece? Doesn't WiMax = 4G? I'm in 4G coverage and have never seen the right-side LED on.
 
yeah where the hell did that light come from, its gotta be photoshopped or something im in chicago and usually have 4g on constantly and have never seen that light. now im curious as hell!!! anyone got a video with proof
 
Doing it now

Works really well, uploading vid now. Will post it when done :)
 
Best tip I have seen in ages! hope we can get at least mail notifications working on this other light as well!
 
wow...i am all over this. Coming from BB that is what I miss most. Thanks for the post.
 
lol wow i've had my evo since it came out and i never knew there was an led on the right side of the earpiece.
 
Wow, never knew there was another led, and so far the app works great.. Can't wait for it to support email and voicemail.
 
cool isnt it

Yeah I found it about three weeks ago. Being a former blackberry addict that was one of the things I was missing.
 
I was told that the 4G shows up on the top right hand side of the screen - at least that's what mine is doing when I'm in 4G ..
