Follow-ups Desktopnotifications white page [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications April 03, 2015, 04:34:18 pm To make @meetdilip happy, here it is a first beta of an addon that adds the number of notifications to the favicon of your browser. Completely untested the installer, apart from that the addon is pretty basic, and shoud Just WorkTM... as usual! xDI used this pre-made js library:https://github.com/ejci/favico.jsit's not as flexible as I wanted at the beginning[1], but for now will do.As soon as I set up a github repo I'll post it to the addons site. 1 I would like to be able to add two notifications at once: one for mention/alerts and one for PMs, but with that library I can add only one number at a time... well, less code to write. ↵
Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #1 – April 03, 2015, 05:00:33 pm Neat idea lol..but won't it be tough if there are more than 9 notices? AFAIK the favicon is 16x16 image...not alot to put something else into.Strike that, I read on the favicon specs that they can be bigger actually. But still, on my chrome tabs they are miniscule things...
Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #2 – April 03, 2015, 05:47:54 pm I guess so, in such a tiny space you can't put much...I think mobile devices use different favicon sizes but probably not for the tabs, but for bookmarks and/or other stuff like that, so probably not "affected" but this trick.
Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #3 – April 03, 2015, 05:59:19 pm Fun Its actually easier to read when there are double digit values, at least on the demo page.What is included in the notification totals? (sure I could look at the code, but you know )

Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #5 – April 03, 2015, 06:19:16 pm it's a good start I'm pretty sure I'll use it when notifications will be more complete I know you have some plans for 1.1 or next version

Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #8 – July 23, 2015, 10:22:22 am I'm working a little bit to add that one to 1.1, with an additional ajax call to keep it up to date.Objections?
Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #9 – July 23, 2015, 11:43:15 am no objections, I only hope it will not be hungry in hosting resources
Re: [ADDON][BETA] Favicon with Notifications Reply #10 – July 23, 2015, 12:33:21 pm I added a probing at 10 seconds (hard-coded, no interface to change it), if this kills a server... then the server is already dead to begin with.
