hello
it would be nice if Pamac turned to red or something when there are available updates.
the little orange/yellow dot is hard to notice.(maybe just for me)
Thanks
It turns red for me with a massive exclamation mark in the middle when thereās an update available
maybe itās different between desktop environments.
in octopi or synaptic itās pretty clear to me when there are available updates.
And then you should use pacman -Syyu on console to update your system.
You could enable āHide tray icon when no update availableā in preferences. Then the icon appearing in the system tray would be more noticeable than a small change to an icon thatās always there?

The notification icon depends on your selected icon theme.

On KDE using the papirus icon theme itās just a little white shield with a small blue dot when updates are available. I usually notice it. But I remember when I was using Octopi it was really in your face when updates were available by blinking the red octopus icon which I found was a little too much.
Also, Iām probably a little pedantic but lately when you mouse over the icon it shows something like ā123 available updateā which is bad English. It should be ā123 available updatesā (plural). I donāt know if itās just a KDE thing only or not.
