6255 release notes include a couple new hidden preferences related to
message counts and counters. Please excuse the naive questions:
1. “New: Hidden preference MmBadgeButtonMinimumWidthString can be
used by users disliking circular message counts.” Is this for the
notification badges? What is meant by circular message counts?
It's for the mailbox list within MailMate. In earlier macOS releases,
these had a larger minimum width. Some macOS release changed this such
that small counts would result in a circular count and I also changed
MailMate (I try to match Apple design choices by default).
A user did not like this change (which is pretty old I think) and I
provided him with this option to get it back. It can be used like this:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmBadgeButtonMinimumWidthString
-string "99"
The minimum width would then be the width required to have a badge with
the number 99 even if the count was just 1.
2. “New: Use MmStatusBarShowZeroCounts if you want the menu bar to
show counters even when they are 0. This is useful with some types of
third party menu bar apps (r6255).” What are the command lines to
enable and disable?
This was for a user using an app which can reorganize and show/hide
counters. This did not work well when 0-counts would trigger MailMate to
(temporarily) remove the count. It's used like this:
defaults write com.freron.MailMate MmStatusBarShowZeroCounts -bool YES
These are not very essential general features, but they might mean a lot
to these particular users and they only took a few minutes to add.
