It would be nice to show the notifications count next to the Gitify icon in the menubar
From what I saw it's an image, so it should be possible to dynamically generate one by using some 3rd party library.
EDIT: Use the menubarApp.tray.setTitle() API
For example with the "Reminders MenuBar" icon:

I'd like to work in this if you approve the feature request! 😉
This is probably down to personal preference and workflow. For me, I like the simplicity. See also #728

I agree, some people might not want this feature, but IMO it's sad to prevent other people from benefiting from it; so a setting could be the solution (+ the setting would be a simple checkbox so it wouldn't bring much complexity)
I read #728 and gave my opinion there!
I think this would be fine so long as the feature is behind a settings flag. Personally, I like the simplicity of the different colored icon.
Thank you both for your input 😄
I'll start working on adding this setting as soon as I have some time!
Note: this feature is much easier to implement than I anticipated, I don't have to do any on-the-fly image manipulation as the menubarApp.tray.setTitle() API serves my purpose 😛
PR is coming!
This feature was released today in v5.2.0
