[GitHub -> Notifications] Distinct visually read and unread notifications about extensions HOT 9 OPEN

I think this would create immense confusion. The colors of these icons on GitHub UI reflect the statuses of issues and PRs: issues can be open, closed, or not planned (green, purple, and gray), and PRs can be open, closed, or merged (green, red, and purple).

Anything different from this pattern would be counterintuitive and a big mistake.

Also, the Unread and Read sections already clearly communicate the status of the notifications.

The key question is whether we should color the icons according to the correct GitHub pattern. In my view, yes, we should. This way, if I have a purple PR icon in the Unread section, I know that I'm being notified about a merged PR. This adds real information to the UI.

Thank you for opening this issue!

Good idea! Do you want to actually look at it?

I'm confident in my ability to enhance it, but I'd like your input on which example you find more preferable 🤔 Alternatively if you have any other suggestions for resolving this, I'm open to hearing them 🤔

I think I'll go for shades of gray here as orange and green may be too distracting.

I think it's not possible to implement. I mean shades of gray in List.Item title. The title could only get value and tooltip props 🤔

What do you think about those examples:

Agree with that.

Yeah, I meant using Color.SecondaryText for the read section as the gray color is less visible like below:

But applying the actual colors as done on GitHub's UI is a great idea as well. I'm fine with both. 🙂
