Description

Hi team,

Goal is to improve communication between trading parties, resulting in swifter trades, and less issues/mediation requests etc. as a result of an improved notification that there is an unread trader message pending a response.

This red icon displays the number of open trades. For me it remains red regardless if actioned or responded to or not.

I think it would be helpful to utilise this better - signifying when a response or action has been received? I know there are pop-ups for various other results to prompt action which is great, but not for chat as far as I am aware.

Perhaps it goes green when all read/actioned? And red - when there is an unread chat message?

Or maybe "orange" [BTC] as normal/standard (i.e. open trade pending), and red when an unread message has been received?

Open to ideas on whether to help notify traders there's a new message to respond to. Often for myself, I check regularly but would have no idea otherwise.

Research direction
Locate the portfolio icon in the UI code, likely in a JavaFX FXML file or corresponding controller class. Determine how the icon color is currently set and identify where the unread message count or status is tracked. Then modify the color logic to change based on unread messages (e.g., green when all read, red when unread). Refer to the issue description for design suggestions, but implement a simple color change as a starting point.
