Different colors for different notifications

[bsacharski]

It would be nice if it was possible to set different colors for different types of notifications (let's say different color for chat, mail and other notifications).

Extension could cycle through all of them blinking one color for some time, then changing to other color if there's another type of notification waiting. That way, user would know what has happened without opening the notification area.

Hrmm, I like it! The only problem is to differentiate other notifications... Since notifications-alert is very agnostic with notifications, it can only differentiate chat notifications (as longs as they set the 'isChat' flag) from other notifications. It's a beginning, to have at least 2 colors, one for chat and one for others... but I just don't know how to break that others into small pieces.

You can also simply let the user set the colors per application. Wouldn't that be possible?
