[Feature Request] - Improve notifications

Open generalguy41 opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Description:

  • Sets should show a notification badge/flashing icon on the taskbar when an app receives a notification (maybe a number based badge like Discord for each app/tab that shows a notification?).
  • Tabs in Sets should be more noticable when they have a notification (right now it just uses whatever would be shown in the title bar).

Version Info: Edition Windows 11 Pro Insider Preview Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2022-‎10-‎19 OS build 25227.1000 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.25227.1000.0

Hm I wonder if there even is an Api to get this info from apps

Notes on the needed coding concepts

  1. Detecting when the window flashes might be possible. However, I did not see how it is possible to detect stop flashing. Also, there is no direct API to get if the window is flashing at the moment.
  2. Detecting app icon changes is possible, but not really possible to determine if bandage 1,2,3 is the notification bandage. We can only get the icon as an image. I don't think it is possible to detect unless I train an AI Model for this, which is out of scope and hard and inaccurate.
