I've been using 12.04 for a few days now. Coming from the non-Unity gnome. Here's what I'm used to (and I mentioned this at the tail end of the other thread): Skype: - new chats are indicated by a red number on the tray icon - new messages in existing chats highlight red the window object in the taskbar Pidgin: - new messages blink the tray icon Here's what I have now: - no tray icons, so Pidgin has no visual alerts whatsoever - Skype will blue-colorize its #window indicator to the left of its icon on the left sidebar for new messages for existing chats. But it's tiny and gives me way less info than before I want to stick this new UI out, but is this really the design they were going after? Has everyone else using Pidgin just lived with this? Or am I missing basic notification applets? I see one in the Software Center -- Notification Daemon, but every review says it doesn't work.

ShadowHawk posted:Do you not have the messaging indicator? That's basically the main way pidgin (and Skype, I think) were supposed to subtly tell you what's up. I do have it, but it only does mail alerts. Skype doesn't seem to talk to it. I do see Availability settings, and when I change them, they do reflect in Pidgin. But Pidgin's new messages don't go there. After whitelisting everything, I now get the old smiley face with talk bubble icon flashing in the tray area. But it's still not integrated into the messaging indicator. e: I should say I have the default tray icons: messaging indicator battery life bluetooth (which I could do without) networking sound time/date I just haven't seen any other apps be able to deploy their own.
