Version: 1.5.3 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-3-amd64 I like Akregator, but having the number of unread items displayed in the tray makes it hard to resist reading new articles as they come in, rather than whenever I decide I need a break. At the same time, I don't want to close Akregator altogether, to ensure that I don't miss items on certain feeds that only expose the last e.g. 48 hours of items. I propose that an option be added under the "Show Tray Icon" option, "Display the number of unread items", which would be enabled by default.
Created attachment 43128 [details] patch to fix this bug I made a patch for the akregator in Debian testing, then ported it to svn. However, I didn't build and test the svn version of the patch. I'd appreciate it if someone would review it, apply, build, make sure at least one article is unread, disable the unread article count in general settings, hit apply, verify that the unread article count disappears, perhaps test the reverse operation, and then commit this. The tray icon tooltip should be unaffected.
Created attachment 48024 [details] updated patch I accidentally omitted a signal connection from the UI file in the process of porting this patch to trunk. This updated patch has been tested directly, and should work as intended.
SVN commit 1155932 by osterfeld: Allow disabling Akregator's tray icon unread article count "The unread article count in Akregator's tray icon is useful, but can be very distracting. A checkbox is provided to offer the choice of disabling the unread article count, instead showing the default icon at all times."
