The attachment shows the current status on karmic... Do you really think it's simple to quickly visually check it there are new messages (for example after a coffee break)? The previous envelope+star was more effective.
If you have to keep the monochrome gray, then you could make the "new message" an inverted "no message" (see proposed on attached screenshot) ** Attachment added: "comparing-icons.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32981203/comparing-icons.png -- Indicator-applet icon for "new message" is too visually similar too the default icon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/392265 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
