Steps to reproduce
I can never see I have new unread messages in the tray.
I am not particularly color blind but the "tray dot" is very small and blue, green, red are used as dots. Green/Red on such a small icon is invisible to me. The screenshot here is around x2 size of original icon.
Expected behavior
Better visibility of number of unread messages via some of the following:
Add option (my preference, as task bar icons can be very large and already have a number)
Better tray icon that is not using colors, for example:
There are more things to consider, I am just giving some suggestions.
Observed behavior
This depends on screen resolution, theme etc, obviously. On dark theme, I can't even see the MM tray icon.
I have to keep the MM on the task bar so I can see the number of messages easily. This requires for me to use minimize, however, I click close by accident most of the time.
To prevent this, I am launching MM via script that converts close button to minimize.

Additional Information
Its very important that messaging platform provide good options for pending message visibility.
