Why don't we display our notifications bubble like every other site and app that does notifications, with a nice little number bubble instead of our plain-text typewriter style?
Only updated the Notifications but should also apply to PM notification:
Simple CSS tweak, could go into 3.2.x IMO.
Of course if the value is 0, then don't display any bubble.

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
+1 for both (PMs and Notifications)
but a no-no IMO for the background color that should be neutral (transparent), having in mind darker and lighter styles.

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
I like it. Darker styles can just do their own override for this.
Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
+1, as long as it's easy to change the colour, which I presume it is given it's a small CSS change.

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
The color would in reality come from Prosilver's color scheme, which is what is used for Alerts. It's the salmony red color. That way other styles would mostly be unaffected as we're not adding something new in terms of styling.

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
Here it is mocked up again using Prosilver's colors (note the color is the same color you get when you mouseover the link and the icon/text turn to this red).
No alerts 1 Alert Both have alerts

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
I see now. I'ts ok I can say.
Edit: it's ok just because it's a kind of fast hack that doesn't impact on other things.

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
It's not a hack at all. It's a core styling change.

Re: Notifications slight tweak, visual improvement
What happens on responsive cases? I mean when no messages exist.
Now, the 0 gives a clue that nothing is pending, but nothing bit the icon seems not too intuitive. Maybe adding an uncolored 0 bubble... (dark blue with white number for prosilver).
Thanks,
