Hmmm… I don’t think so.

The closest thing that I know of is Docktopus , a utility that allows you to add Mail.app-style notification badges to lots of icons in your Dock.

Docktopus includes a “folder count” badge, which allows you track the number of files in a folder, but only for a folder that is in the Dock. You could drag your downloads folder there.

Hi, this whole badge thing, can it work with folders too? zo you get a badge with the number of files that have been added for a downloadsfolder or something

[...] The set contains five icons - junkmail.tiff, junkMailFlag.tiff, TB_Junk.tiff, TrashMailbox.tiff. TrashMailboxLarge.tiff - to replace the defaults in the Resources folder of Mail.app. Make copies of the original first. Then follow the same instructions for replacing Apple Mail’s new mail badges.

[...] So, you’ve replaced Mail’s Dock icon and got some shiny matching new mail badges, but you are still thirsting for more Apple Mail interface customization? [...]

You’re right, I didn’t think of the fonts inside the badges, my fault. :P

My menubar is already filled to the max - 1024×768 doesn’t provide that much space. Well, it will work fine like it did before. It’s merely a minor flaw. ;)

Hmmm…. I am not a programmer or developer, so my knowledge about these things is limited, I’m afraid.

My hunch is that you really want to change the font size inside the badges. Bigger badges with the same-sized font won’t help with visibility.

I would think laterally - maybe use a menubar notifier like MailUnreadStatusBar that would give you a bigger font size in the menubar (plus other features)?

Not much of an answer, but it would work.

I wonder if it’s possible to replace the badges with images that have a larger width and height? On my 12″ iBook, I sometimes have a hard time identifying the number shown, larger badges would help. Any clue, Tim? ;)

Yes, it is.

Of course if you really like it, you could use the process outlined here to swap Safari’s default icon for the new shiny one.
