ah ok I found some hoops to jump through
....
function! TabCursor()
        let currentchar = getline('.')[col('.')-1]
        if currentchar  == '    ' 
                if mode() == "n"
                        normal v
                        redraw
                        sleep 4m
                        normal v
                endif
                highlight Cursor guibg=#0FF74A 
        else
                highlight Cursor guibg=#7F97AA 
        endif
endfunction

this is actually closer to what I had in mind, except ideally I would have
it blink and highlight the current tab at every blink.
