hi is there a way to mark new messages inside the ibox. the problem that I have now is that you can view all the messages but you don't know which is new
I am not sure if its a theme problem or not. but it would be great to have new message icon or unread message icon to separate from read one

I am not sure what i am doing wrong i looked everywhere could not find a solution

thanks

Unread messages are already marked in ibox. If you look at source you will see that unread messages have 'privatemsg-unread' css class. the default style for unread messages is to bold the subject.

I think the problem is with my theme. I am using twilight theme
when i use it the link show the same weight no matter if its new message or not
but when I switch to Garland then it shows Bold for new messages and normal link for message already read

Is there a way to go around that problem? I really want to stick with Twilight?
Do I have to do some change on the private message module level? can I maybe change the color of the link for new message? if yes can you help me , direct me to the proper steps

Thank you

privatemsg-list.css has the following:

.privatemsg-list-subject.privatemsg-unread {
font-weight: bold;
}

perhaps it should be instead:
.privatemsg-list-subject.privatemsg-unread a {
font-weight: bold;
}

Because some themes will set styles for and the classes won't override them without specifying the

Is there a way to show notification of new messages on the PM link? For example, if you have one new PM, could it show (1) next to the PM link? Version 5 had a bar that showed up on every screen that said, "You have 1 new private message" but that no longer appears.

Any help is much appreciated.

It does show that, unless you renamed the menu link in the menu administration. If that is true, use the reset link there and translate the name with http://drupal.org/project/string_override or locale.

Oh, and please do not comment on closed threads, unless your question is relevant to that specific issue.
