While on Facebook today, saw the message red bubble with the message count in it. I dig that. Had to create one and use it here on idesignSMF.
This should work on
most idesignSMF themes.
Subs.php find:
$context['menu_buttons']['pm']['title'] .= ' [<strong>' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</strong>]';
Replace with:
$context['menu_buttons']['pm']['title'] .= ' <span class="pmJewel">' . $context['user']['unread_messages'] . '</span>';
Theme's CSS file add at the very end.
.pmJewel {
background-color: #ff0000;
border: 1px solid #c24440;
-webkit-border-radius: 2px;
-moz-border-radius: 2px;
border-radius: 2px;
padding: 1px 7px 1px 6px;
color: #f1f1f1;
font-size: 12px;
width: 16px;
height: 16px;
margin-left: 5px;
text-align: center;
}
