Version: 1.3.1 (using 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.2), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-7-generic In the KDE 3 version of Akregator, feeds showed the number of unread items next to themselves, and feeds with unread items were displayed with bold text, as in [1]. With the version I'm currently using, unread feeds are hard to spot, because the boldness is gone, and the number of unread feeds is moved away from the name, in its own column.

This is still the case in 1.4.0 (using KDE 4.2.0, openSUSE packages). I really would akregator to behave like KMail of KDE 4.2.0 in that respect: Entries in the tree view, that have new items, are displayed using a bold font at all events. If you chose to have no extra column, that shows the number of unread messages, that number is attached to the item text in parenthesis.

kmail does a similar job and shows unread messages in parentheses. Is it possible to share some code here?
This is the one thing i notice IMMEDIATELY after upgrading to new akregator - it's also the only thing that makes me not to use the new akregator, sorry but this is unusable!

As of now, Akregator does show feeds having unread posts in *bold*. The only pending gripe is that the number of unread posts are still shown in a separate column.
I think it would be best to implement the past behaviour (unread item count displayed in the same column) by default, since it is easier for the user to discover that they can add a separate unread column than for them to discover that when they remove the unread column, the count is displayed in the first column.
The problem is not really the separate column, but the fact that: 1, it is not using a special color 2, ZERO is shown If either of those would be chanded, the usability will be back to normal. But the current state - there is a column filled with numbers of the same color is really unreadable.
I think it _is_ a problem with a separate column. Despite the two things you mentioned I see several problems: - the width of the unread column (table head) - number of unread messages could be far away of feed title (long titles and short titles) -> hard to read
I agree. All 4 points outline regressions in the new akregator. I also prefer the classical view like in akregator of KDE3.
I'm editing the title in the hope that it will make this bug more meaningful. If I could edit the summary, I would probably do that as well. I propose (as before) that when the "Unread" column is disabled, the unread item count should be displayed in brackets next to the feed name, as in KDE3 Akregator. To facilitate the usage and discovery of this feature, the Unread column should also be disabled by default. I see no harm in leaving it in, but I suspect that there are very few people who would prefer it.
Fixed yesterday in trunk.
