Indicator-Messages should turn blue when new emails land in Thunderbird |
Thunderbird's messaging menu highlight helps some people but not many |

description |
When new emails arrive in Thunderbird, two things should happen:
1.) the Indicator-Messages icon in the panel should change color to blue
2.) the "Inbox" entry within the Messaging Menu should change color to blue
Without this color-changing capability to indicate new correspondence, the Indicator-Messages icon is just a waste of panel space. What is gained from having a panel icon when the user can simply use a Super+1-0 shortcut to access the relevant application instead? What the Indicator does is provide information and notice even when the Launcher is hidden while allowing quick access (via clicking Indicator) to quickly learn what event caused the notice.
Since the Indicator-Messages is a default panel icon, landing this feature should carry some elevated importance.
Per discussion on the Unity-Design@lists.launchpad.net thread, Mark Shuttleworth wrote on 28 February 2012:
"Yes, this would be consistent with our design guidelines for the indicators.
* the indicator can turn colour [green - affirmative, blue - informational, red - warning]
* the relevant section in the indicator (in this case, software update line in the menu) goes the same colour to create a thread from the indicator to the menu action
Mockups and bugs welcome.
Mark" |
By default, when new emails arrive in Thunderbird, they *sometimes* highlight the messaging menu. As described by Chris Coulson, a message highlights the menu if:
"- The message is sent with high-priority OR
- The message is flagged (by a filter) OR
- The message is addressed directly to the recipient (eg, not CC) AND the message is not low prioirty AND the message wasn't automated AND the message is not from a mailing list."
This is good behavior for some people, but not for others, e.g. ViViD: "In my personal case, no message received through Thunderbird lacks importance. Since I hide the launcher by default, many mails go unnoticed for a time and I find myself randomly mousing over the launcher to check mails."
To suit more people, Thunderbird should contain a setting for which messages highlight the messaging menu. One option should be to highlight messages if they are from one of your contacts.
This setting needs design, and then proposing (and maybe implementing) upstream. |
