Good idea. Going one step further, maybe there is a way to change the shape of the icon as well so that the difference is more noticeable by more people.
As far as colour goes, off the top of my head I would suggest green for a new message and orange for a new email. That makes email more important than chat...maybe there is a way to incorporate both ideas in the resulting various states in a logical manor. Icon-wise, it would be tricky but perhaps worth the effort. -- show different color of icon for different apps https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554509 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
