UPDATE 2: This is now in the release version and enabled by default. To disable this feature, untick "Advanced > Highlight recent messages in the Message Center" in the options page. Apparently, some people were contacting support regarding this and dA contacted me in turn. Sorry for the confusion.
UPDATE: I pushed this feature out for Beta testing, which is going to go live in under an hour. Beta-testers, please give me your feedback! I also plan to make Beta test public - stay tuned for an announcement.
Hello, fellow deviants!
I've been toying with the idea of highlighting fresh messages in the Message Center.
Previously, I already made one step in that direction by appending the number of unread messages to message center headers. This had two big downsides:
I made a quick prototype that highlights message center messages based on their age:
For the curious, the opacity formula (subject to further tweaks) is inverse proportion, with:
So, discuss. Do you like that feature? Would you like to see it implemented? If not, why? How can it be improved?

Hello, fellow deviants!
I've been toying with the idea of highlighting fresh messages in the Message Center.
Previously, I already made one step in that direction by appending the number of unread messages to message center headers. This had two big downsides:
- It can only show what's new since last time you checked. If new messages arrive and you refresh the page, old batch would be considered read, even if you didn't pay attention to it.
- It doesn't mesh well with stacks. If you have 10 new deviations, how many stacks contain new items?
I made a quick prototype that highlights message center messages based on their age:
For the curious, the opacity formula (subject to further tweaks) is inverse proportion, with:
- Brightest if newer than 5 minutes
- Tapers off to 10% if aged 3 days
- Cuts off at 5%
So, discuss. Do you like that feature? Would you like to see it implemented? If not, why? How can it be improved?
0.8.1.2: Minimal Eclipse compatibility
TL;DR: There's a new version for Chrome and Firefox that "supports" Eclipse
Wait, what? A new version? This is not dead? It's been years!
Yes, indeed! I apologize for the time it took me to do that; I have stated in many places that my interest in DeviantART has waned, and with that it was hard to focus on providing support for this extension.
Until now I was happy stating that the Notifier likely breaks with Eclipse enabled, and leave it at that. But with DeviantART putting an expiration date on its "v7" old interface, I decided to see how hard it would be to adapt the Notifier to be workable under it. Turns out, about half a day.

Quick note about Eclipse
Fellow deviants,
This is a quick note regarding the interoperability of DeviantArt Eclipse and the Notifier.
As is, if you enable Eclipse preview:
* The Notifier keeps getting data from the servers just fine for now.
* Links from the Notifier are no longer valid. (This can probably be fixed to some extent, by linking to (general) categories in the new UI.)
This will probably not be the case once DeviantArt shuts down the old infrastructure.
When that happens, the Notifier is likely dead in the water without significant re-engineering (for example, use of the official API).
Sadly, my own interest in DeviantArt has waned; to that end, I'd
Notifications on Windows 10
Hello all,
A few reports have filtered to me that notification popups (toasts) are not working like they used to on Windows 10; I have investigated it (special thanks to veilune (https://www.deviantart.com/veilune) who helped me), and here goes:
What happened?
Chrome 68 started rolling out integration of notifications into Windows notification center.
They only work that way for 50% of the users as part of the staged rollout, so not everyone will see them now. But eventually, this will be the standard for Windows 10 users.
Here's how they look now:
TL;DR: I don't have control over how the notifications are presented by Chrome, but you can override it either way.

0.8.0: EARLY PREVIEW Firefox version
Yes, it's really happening, you're not dreaming..
An EARLY PREVIEW version for Firefox 55+ is ready for testing.
You can grab it here: https://kashev.me/da-notifier/
As noted on that page, this version may be broken, incomplete etc.
If I did everything correctly, it should auto-update when I have further FF fixes/adaptations.
If you're brave enough to test it, please report back on how it performs.
I will soon roll out the same version to Beta channel for Chrome.

Great idea!
Alright, I think I have few thoughts about improving it:
"It can only show what's new since last time you checked. If new messages arrive and you refresh the page, old batch would be considered read, even if you didn't pay attention to it."
I think this part could be cancelled and get integrate with the opacity formula.
So, if first access to page, color would be different (Yellow for example). If page refreshed, the opacity formula would stay, but with DeviantArt colors (The greenish original color).
