Description Rezonansowy 2014-01-01 16:26:08 UTC

Like in title. This small thing will make Echo more user-friendly. This can be done with jQuery .animate function. It should fade the background-color two times from normal gray to red highlight color defined in .mw-echo-unread-notifications CSS class.

Comment 1 Andre Klapper 2014-01-01 22:11:10 UTC

Thanks for sharing your idea. 
The bug title does not describe a bug but a solution or feature / new functionality. Hence setting priority to enhancement.

Could you please also describe the problem that you try to solve? "user friendly" is a very subjective word, and apart from that you are only describing one potential implementation of one potential solution to a (yet undefined) problem.
What do you expect to happen when you have twenty messages? Blink 20 times?

Comment 2 Rezonansowy 2014-01-02 09:12:08 UTC

Agree this is enhancement. Blinking has no relationship to messages count. 2 times are purely informative, I think.

Comment 3 Oliver Keyes 2014-01-02 11:16:54 UTC

Then again - what happens for 3 messages, or 4 messages, or 5 messages?

As Rezonansowy clarified in comment#2, he just wants the red badge to be more noticeable in general, and suggests that an animation of the badge (by blinking twice) would be good. I'll change the bug-summary to be clearer.

Comment 5 Oliver Keyes 2014-01-02 19:00:36 UTC

Aha; missed it. This seems like a Maryana decision.
