Well, Nate does a lot for KDE so sometimes he might be a bit terse, but he is
always polite. It definitely was not trying to be rude, I think. But I agree
with you that the premise that everything out there will start behaving
properly in relation to clipboard is not realistic.

The thing about injustice I think is a bit off. I assume you do not pay for
KDE, so I am not sure it has any obligation to you (I mean, KDE would never
have, but maybe some company working on it might :-)).

The thing is this would need to fit in into the visual language of KDE. From my
understanding, those are badges. Battery shows percentages, Bluetooth nubmer of
connected devicer, Update when there are updates, sound applet when there is no
sounds. Colour means you are supposed to do something with the case of
Discover, which is out of the question here.

I guess it all comes down to "how to make this comprehensible to the user
without being too distracting", which is actually rather difficult thing to do.
Your idea with the dots is no comprehensible, I am afraid. You would need a
message in the tooltip saying something like "five new clipboard entries in the
last minute" or something like that. By the way the tooltip shows the last
entry - just hovering above it would not be enough for you?

A thing with precedent would be to offer a badge with the number of entries,
but I do not find that personally useful at all. But people might be different.

The animation idea is something that no other KDE app does, so I think it is
unlikely to be accepted (I also do not see it at all on your picture).
