and you can distinguish between IM, email or other... sorry i meant Can't distinguish.

Also seeing this problem. you cant distinguish importance or priority. and you can distinguish between IM, email or other... for IM it should at least blink as it needs immediate action/attention (unless you set status to busy). i think this may also need an entry in the specs wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MessagingMenu#Unresolved_issues -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/578285 Title: Since Lucid, notifications are not really clear To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/578285/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your bug report and helping to make Ubuntu better. This is an indicator applet wishlist item and has been marked as such.

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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Maybe that the letter icon should blink. Or switch slowly from letter icon to phylactery one when received a chat message. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
