Google Chrome pinned tab highlight unread [closed]

Question

In google chrome there is a feature that highlights pinned tabs which have unread content. For example, I pinned my Facebook page, and if any Notification or Message arrives, the pinned tab gets highlighted. This is not so noticeable as only a little white spot, sliding from right to left on the top of the tab, appears.

I want to find/create an add-on which changes the color of the "highlighted" tab to a more flashy one.

First I tried to search for an existing extension, but I haven't found any.

Help me to create this add-on.

Answer 1

This glow notification effect happens when the tab's title is changed.

To see, create an HTML file with some Javascript that changes its title after a moment, like:

setTimeout(function() {
    window.document.title = "New title!";
}, 3000);

Open it, pin it, then change to a different tab. After the 3 seconds, the pinned tab should glow.

Firefox 4 also does this.

Oh, actually read what you were trying to do now. Don't think you can change the colour, no.

Answer 2

You could change your theme (here) so the existing highlight is more obvious. It's a white glow, so you could (for example) use the 'Greyscale' theme.

I tried it and it is better; though a background flash / colour change would be much better than the light highlight IMHO.
