Blink icon app notification #32

Open dhinojosac opened 4 years ago

dhinojosac commented 4 years ago

It would be a good feature if this could have blinking alerts on the application icon.

Not sure what you mean, app icon in the notification or something else? Is that part of some spec?

dhinojosac commented 4 years ago

I mean, the application icon in the taskbar (windows) could it blinks or change color. image

I see, will need to check. If possible on all platforms (and without CGO) it does seem like a nice addition.
