In 12.04, using Pidgin, I often miss incoming IM messages which can sometimes be quite frustrating. So if anyone is interested, I changed the behavior of indicator-messages to blink its icon instead of merely change colors. I packaged the change and put it in a PPA, using it only requires you to add the ppa, and do an update + upgrade.
https://launchpad.net/~berle/+archive/blinking Now for some motivation behind this change: I acknowledge that the ideal solution is for the launcher icon of pidgin to communicate this somehow, but it currently doesn't and changing indicator-messages was a lot easier than changing pidgins interaction with the launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392265 Title: "Unread Messages" icon is difficult to distinguish from default icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/humanity/+bug/392265/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
