45128 - classic skin: need new mail notification icons

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Themes, defect, P3)

Description

[David :Bienvenu]

The classic skin needs new mail notification, both on the global level (the mail
icon on the toolbar) and on the per-folder level. I don't know if this is a
missing icon or bitmap, or a bug somewhere. It's the only thing that I can see
missing from the classic skin. Other than that, it looks great!

nominating for nsbeta2 - classic skin users should know when they have new mail

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.

taskbar-mailnew.gif is located in Modern's global/skin directory but is missing 
from the same directory in Classic. tasksOverlay.css in communicator/skin in 
Classic dosent have the lines to display the new mail icon. It shouldn't be hard 
to add it. The only differance between tasksOverlay.css in Modern and Classic 
are the lines that display taskbar-mailnew.gif, so the css could just be moved 
from Modern to Classic, Then a gif would have to be created for the classic 
skin.

It is more involved than that. You also have to change all the makefiles for 
the Classic skin. I already made a patch for this a couple weeks ago. Check it 
out at bug 43883. I don't know why it hasn't been looked at.

Doesn't Communicator use three icons?
Standard "No new mail" icon
"New mail" icon - with green arrow
"Don't know" icon - with yellow arrow

I think this is a duplicate of 43883, which has been fixed.  If it's still an 
issue, please reopen.

It's only partly a dup of 43883, which is fixed. 43883 is for the taskbar, but
the part that's not fixed is in the folder pane - when a folder receives a new
message, e.g., by having mail filtered into it, we need to display a green dot
as part of the folder icon. Let me know if you have any questions about that.

Okay, I see it now.  The Account icon is displaying the green arrow, but the 
mailboxes and folders within are not.

Nikhil, this is probably related to your Classic icon changes...

nominate for nsbeta3 since mail users will need this.

[Nikhil Bhatla (gone)]

Copied code from modern skin, and appears to work now.  Lemme know 
if it is still exhibiting wrong behavior.  Marking FIXED.
