So according to the usability test, "7/11 participants failed to
interpret the meaning of blue".

How many interpreted the meaning of green? Was it any better?

I'd be surprised if Michael quoted above, for example, would say: "I
don't know why it would need to be blue ... but green, green makes sense
to me."

Or if Hansie would change his belief that "The fact that it is present
indicates there is something there for me to do" merely because it was
sometimes green rather than sometimes blue (if he even saw that happen).

If the logic is, "the menu is where we list notifications, therefore the
indicator has to be there all the time, therefore we need to use visual
design to distinguish new messages received or not", then maybe the
premise is wrong.

Bug description:
  When you receive a message the indicator menu turns from opaque to
  full white to indicate that there is a new message. But this is not
  clear since all the other icons are white and you do not see any
  difference.

  This is very confuse to understand that the indicator is in a
  different state from the other indicators or if it needs attention.

  ----------DESIGN RESOLUTION---------------

  Please use the current ubuntu theme green to indicate that there is a
  new message - #3FB24F, the same green as we use for the battery icon
  in indicators.

  Change the LED light to green as well.
