will check the class, thank you I let you know

Thank you very much, it worked, I had to modify the class .unread-count:after what I already had defined and to add the .unread-count as you have suggested

Hello,

I have forked theme-material and i try to figure out how I should make my chat notifications show up when there is a new message.

The notification is not showing up if I am not on the forum, when I close the browser (send a message while it is closed from another user) and visit my forum I can not see that there is a new message, it is only visible in the dropdown menu as highlighted, but the count is not visible.

When i am on the forum and somebody sends a message than everything works as it should, I can see the "{unreadCount.chat}"

if i change the line to be like in the persona theme

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/77962c81bab538f6cd82c98451019da0c7a6d391/templates/partials/menu.tpl#L52

then it also shows up when the number of not seen messages is 0, the count is always visible

if i replace that line with this one

<i component="chat/icon" class="fa fa-comment-o fa-fw" data-content="0"></i>

then the notification wont show up

Could somebody point me out what the right way is to change this line?

This is how I would like to see the notification when I visit my forum

@Geferon There is 1 small issue when you get time please look at it, on the same chat page there is a search option if you click the chat icon, hower with mouse there you will see that left from the icon there is a href and it is not visible.

Thank you for helping

@Geferon i believe we are talking about this page https://github.com/geferon/nodebb-theme-material/blob/master/templates/chats.tpl

I believe its a link to the chat room, it looks like this "/user/neho/chats/roomID"

@Geferon Chat is not a widget, only the forum stats is a widget, when you have a private chat you can open it in a link, look at the screenshot, next to close (x) you can open your private chat (room)

@Geferon

@Geferon thank you, now the style is also fine. there is 1 last part what I saw as bugged, when I open my chat in full view there is no scrollbar when there are more than X messages, and when there are enough messages my global widget positioned in Footer overlaps the chat messages

@Geferon that spacing is also present
