I hate to sound abrasive as I too, like mentioned above, am an Ubuntu
fan, but I'm somewhat surprised to see this hasn't been addressed yet.
I'm finding it to be a common question that comes up as users want to
know how to tell when an application needs attention. "You mean that
faint line color is how I see that I just got a message??" (caused by
the mismatched highlight) or "I can't see the dots to see how many
firefoxes I have open. How do I adjust it?" I understand this issue was
fixed in another report for 7.2.1, but A) where is it? And B) why on
earth was this not pushed ASAP? As somebody who lives in the Ubuntu
world I can tell you it's not a small frustration by any stretch. Given
the fact this makes for a less consistent feeling interface, this turns
into a hard sell for users who are used to the nice orange glow of the
windows 7 icons needing attention or the continually bouncing icons in
osx. That brings up another point as the icon highlights are a far cry
from convenient when alerting users they just received a message. On
screen popup is great but what about when I wasn't present when I
received the message and come back a minute later? It needs to be more
obvious without question. The envelope is no where near a logical answer
either since few applications support it, plus it makes no sense to look
on the upper right side to the envelope just to tell what application
from the left side unity bar needs attention. Surely that should raise
an eyebrow...
