Tray Icon has the same color as that of the account

Post by Angelchc »

Hello everyone,

I have in the settings under Tray Icon, New Mail Tray Icons:
Rotate Number of New Messages for Each Account.

I would like to display the number of emails in red.
And i only managed to put the color of the account in red.
Only then will the new emails in the Mail window list be red.

How i can set that the symbol is in red with the display of the number of emails,
but the color of the new emails in the Mail window in black? (bold)

Regards,

Angel

You cannot -- the color represented in the tray icon will match the color of the account. Maybe a compromise in the color would help? e.g. rgb 96/0/0 to have a dark shade of red.

Fewer.
My taskbar is black, so the red is the most striking for me.
Can you please add this where you can set this separately?

A better solution for this is to be able to specify a background color. This is an option I provide for a similar feature in Aeris Calendar, but I guess it's been so long that I've personally used that feature in PP, that it wasn't an issue on whatever OS I last used it in (probably XP?).

I'll add that to my notes, not sure if it will make it into v6 or not, but we'll see.

This is exactly what mine.
Let's hope this will be added.

Thanks!
