The summary says it all. The previous version I used (5.3.0) did show the number of unread articles in the systray icon. 5.4.3 no longer does.
Hi, it's not a regression. I removed it as we can't see number when number > 100 and it's the case as usual Regards

How about a configuration option for this?
It won't be more readable with an option.
Depends on the use case. I was using akregator as information source for a ticketing system. Numbers of unread messages usually was below 100, and the number in the sytray was readable pretty good. So, this makes the difference between "pretty" and "not" helpful for me. How about reverting change 1391353529419647b2b40d0ac758a2bd9075eb1a and add a check 0<x<100 in TrayIcon::slotSetUnread?
No comment, no possible solution for this?
In my own desktop shell, liquidshell, I have integrated a workaround to see the unread count for KMail and Akregator if the count is < 100. You might want to give it a try: https://cgit.kde.org/liquidshell.git/

But in the end, I'm looking for a stable solution rather than a workaround, and if the akregator maintainer are not willing to pick up this improvement (and it looks like), I'll have to search for alternatives.

Thanks for the regression devs, keep up the good work.. I always love updating KDE and seeing yet an other feature removed.. I now have no idea how many new articles there are unless I open the whole akregator window up each time.. Who would let their news pile up to over 100??.. Just do like Martin suggested and show a number in the tray if it is less than 100, and don't show a number if it is 100 or greater.. Or you could always, you know, ADD AN OPTION so the user can decide instead of making the choice for every one and assuming every one in the world has the same work-flow that you do.. The number was always very legible to me.. Reopen this regression bug and fix it please..
Created attachment 126662 [details] Put the tray count back Unbelievable. Another KDE app that gets worse with updates. I mean really? Instead of fixing the problem with readability you *remove* a feature? I have created a reversal patch (without the config option). It uses Normal text color instead of link to make it a little more readable on my system.
@Jaromir Your patch works perfectly, thanks ! By the way, this regression introduced a bug : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420520
