(Get the code!)
Currently that "communication" icon is a letter. White when no notifications. Green if we received a mail or an event in empathy or both.
What it should do? Here is an idea.
There is some cases :
1) we received no mail and no new event in empathy :
the letter icon could be white as it is already implemented
2) we received some mails and no new event in empathy :
the letter icon could be green as it is already implemented
3) we received a new event in empathy but no new mail :
there is only a static green phylactery icon (we don't see the letter icon anymore)
4) we received a new event in empathy and we also received some mails :
the letter icon is green. It switches slowly to a green phylactery icon. Then fade again to a letter icon and so on (loop) until we have an other kind of event (as describes above). The transitional effect between letter icon and phylactery one could be a fade effect (the opacity of the letter icon decrease while the opacity of the phylactery one increase).
I talked about blinking icons in previous post but I find it boring for a daily use.
