Version: 1.10.3 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-7-generic I tend to collect a lot of unread messages, both from mailinglists and in my spam folder. So the count on the icon in the system tray is most the time a ridicolous high number and totally meaningless to me. I just found out from bug 92646 that I can disable notifications for single folders, before that I had ~15000 unread spam. Now I've got still ~400 unread mails displayed, no idea from which (IMAP) folder (might be bug 75583). Anyway, the icon is just plain ugly like this and I don't need the count of unread mails there, so is it possible to simply add an option on the quite empty config pane Appearance->System Tray to disable the count altogether? Guess that shouldn't be too hard to add, maybe I'll have a try myself if nobody objects :)
> maybe I'll have a try myself if nobody objects :) I don't object. The code which paints the number of unread mail is at KMSystemTray::updateCount() in kmsystemtray.cpp. The code of the systemtray-related config options is in the AppearancePageSystemTrayTab class of configuredialog.cpp. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 171992 ***
