my taskbar is 40 pixels (which is where it starts touching the edge), and starting with 36 it hangs off the taskbar when 3 digits to show
2 The badge overlaps the indicator for when the applet is open.
touches at 46, overlaps it at 44 and below
3 The indicator icon becomes a number badge.
There could be an option to set the indicator to show a number instead of the update icon. Maybe in a circle instead of the rectangle, giving full focus to the number. This would be a decent looking option for any theme that would overlap with the badge.
quick and dirty mockup (same font size and same footprint as the update circle):
Using the default breeze theme.
