Closed Owyn closed 2 years ago

Brief description of the feature request

Here: image

and here: image

I disabled tray icon in the settings and now there is basically no place to see if rssguard has new unread items except in the active rssguard window itself - it would be nice if big taskbar icon could show number of unread items (just like tray icon) and rssguard window title had number of unread too e.g. RSS Guard 4.2.0 (5) (5 unread items) so you could notice there are new items when you Alt+Tab

As for taskbar, something like this?

Yea, just like discord does image

Improved - rounded corners, number size is now adjusted to be as big as possible, when number bigger than 999 is there, then "infinity" symbol is used instead

white background was more visible than green for me... (and I'm not even color blind)

martinrotter commented 2 years ago

indeed, i will polish it a bit and push for testing

yellow looks rather readable

plus not sure but maybe using sharp instead of smooth for number text might look more clear (I used sharp for my examples above)

OK, pushed, pls test and report back. Feature is switchable in settings->gui->taskbar.

Not big if you have more digits-number of unread, it is now configured to display values up to "999" and in that case, the square is just about right

I polished the number size a bit.
