Feature #1843
On KDE, the "new message" tray icon is the same as KMail's
0%
Description
Hi all,
When using Quassel on KDE's plasma desktop along with KMail, and both are in the systray, Quassel shows the same envelope icon as KMail uses when a message with the user name in it arrives with Quassel not being in the foreground.
While this is of course not a bug, it's not nice. So maybe, you want to use a (slightly) different icon for that situation? Something like a speech bubble or such?!
However thanks for your this great piece of software that makes using IRC so much more fun!
Cheers, Tobias

Hello,
Quassel and KMail sharing the same envelope icon in the systray causes confusion—consider using a distinct icon like a speech bubble for Quassel mentions to improve clarity and user experience. Great work otherwise!

That's a valid point: Quassel using the same envelope icon as KMail in the system tray for new messages can cause confusion. A slightly different icon, like a speech bubble, would significantly improve visual distinction and usability. To suggest this enhancement, you should submit your feedback directly to the Quassel development team via their official bug tracker or feature request system. https://www.mymilestonecard.com.co
