Pulsing New Mission Icon (option to not pulse)?

The pulsing, throbbing, blinking new mission icon is constantly, relentlessly, obnoxiously forever grabbing my attention!!! Which I suppose is the intention...

Is there a way to turn off the pulsing effect? Can you make it an option to stop? PLEASE make it stop!!! It's like a woodpecker in my brain! And I am constantly having to click it!!! KHHHHHAAAAAANNNNN!!!!
