Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Instantbird Graveyard :: Conversation, defect)

Notify the user about the received video call notification by changing the color of the conversation tab when he's not on the particular conversation.

For eg. Color of the tab changes to blue when someone mentions your nick.

Why can't this just be the same thing as when we get an IM?

I think the proposal here is to make the UI look the same as when someone pings you (eg tab label turning blue).

The implementation can't be exactly the same though, as the video call request likely won't come as a regular message (there may be a system message, but I don't think we display pings in them).

Right, it will also be necessary to add something to ibNotifications to show a toaster (possibly with "click to accept call" functionality)

On the behalf of Florian:
Closing bugs related to the Instantbird UI as WONTFIX, as the development of the standalone chat client Instantbird has stopped. Instantbird users are encouraged to migrate to Thunderbird. The user interface of instant messaging in Thunderbird will feel familiar, as the Thunderbird IM support started as a fork of Instantbird.
