Suggestion for KDE Plasma: Notification Counter and Icon Highlighting in the System Tray

Hi. I have a cool suggestion regarding KDE Plasma, specifically the system tray. If we receive a message, it would be great if the app icon was highlighted with the accent color chosen in KDE’s appearance settings, and there was a notification count above the icon on the right side. When you’re not looking at the tray, it’s easy to miss a message and forget to reply. If these icons could light up and have a notification counter in the top-right corner of the app icon, like for Discord, Thunderbird, Skype, etc., it would be awesome.

Here’s an example from a GNOME extension, which only lacks the icon highlighting feature that appears when we open an app in KDE Plasma:
