Currently that "communication" icon is a letter. White when no notifications. Green if we received a mail or an event in empathy or both.
What it should do? Here is an idea. There is some cases : 1) we received no mail and no new event in empathy : the letter icon could be white as it is already implemented 2) we received some mails and no new event in empathy : the letter icon could be green as it is already implemented 3) we received a new event in empathy but no new mail : there is only a static green phylactery icon (we don't see the letter icon anymore) 4) we received a new event in empathy and we also received some mails : the letter icon is green. It switches slowly to a green phylactery icon. Then fade again to a letter icon and so on (loop) until we have an other kind of event (as describes above). The transitional effect between letter icon and phylactery one could be a fade effect (the opacity of the letter icon decrease while the opacity of the phylactery one increase). I talked about blinking icons in previous post but I find it boring for a daily use. -- Since Lucid, notifications are not really clear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578285 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
