Public bug reported:
The envelope in my top bar thingy is grey when I have no unread messages
and blue when I have some unread messages. There's no apparent way to
discern between unread email messages and unread jabber messages without
clicking on it and looking at the drop-down. There is also no apparent
way to split these up into more than one indicator.
Even if we assume that this must also work on incredibly narrow
monitors, there are surely enough monitors wide enough to accept more
than one of these indicators that it would be worth having the option of
doing so?
This is true of at least 13.04 and 13.10. Attached is a screenshot,
showing either unread emails, unread IMs or both.
