Yes we need that! :+1:
For Linux and MacOS looks like Electron provides an API https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/app#appsetbadgecountcount-linux-macos , for Windows looks like you might need to do something custom this issue could be a good start for investigation https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4788
Is there an existing request for feature?
What feature would you like?
I searched through past issues and noticed someone else raised the feature missing: https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/issues/1759#issuecomment-1176277919
This feature request is to have badge indicator in the system tray icon in Linux. I am using Budgie desktop but I would think this would similar with other desktop environments like Gnome.
So, I tried Signal and it has that feature I want here, where number of unread message can be seen on top of the Signal icon:![image](https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/assets/1326079/979180a0-2ab6-4382-a8a1-7b02492deaf3)
Session on the other hand does not do this yet, and after new message arrives, there is no badge indication and the icon stays the same:![image](https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/assets/1326079/8809b952-d7a8-44bd-8743-628d1797f15a)
It will be great to have system tray icon indicating the new/unread message.
Anything else?
