Hi all,

In TB 91.1.2 there is a Red Dot that has appeared on the TB icon in the Task Bar.

I did not find any discussion of this in the new features write up.

At first i thought it was an indication that there was mail I had downloaded but not yet viewed, but after going through folders, etc. that apparently is not the case.

Please ... What is this Red Dot, and more importantly, how do I remove it ?

Thanks !

All the Best.

it is a red dot with a number on it. The number of new mails as I understand it. but default but it is fully configurable.

Go to the preferences and search for badge then click the "app icons options" button when it is found
