thing is, it would become a thing only for jobs, while now it shows also how many notifications are here. thinking about it, it -could- work if the icon would change between the state of being totally dead (no notification, no job and nothing in the history popup) and the state of having something in the popup, the i itself could change from translucent to opaque or something like that... - Marco On 2010-05-01 10:15:44, Harsh J wrote: > > ----------------------------------------------------------- > This is an automatically generated e-mail.
