As far as I know unity8 doesn't know anything about telepathy. And I'm not sure that indicator-messaging knows anything about a current call.
If the telepathy support was in the indicator, all indicators would need to support this "hint" behaviour, it can't really be a custom thing. Which could possibly be a good thing (eg a "running timer" for datetime indicator?), Either that, or telepathy should be integrated directly into unity8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Unity API bugs, which is subscribed to Messaging Menu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1259896 Title: [indicators] add active call hint in indicators Status in The Messaging Menu: Opinion Status in Phone App: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Confirmed Status in The Unity 8 shell: Triaged Bug description: Current situation No active call hint available Design solution Introduce active call hint in the indicators Refer to slide 4 on https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/presentation/d/1RevYZ6bODa6uRiHuMsmVfMoXGwdZ73qwkYJIb_3B6EI/edit#slide=id.g255f49779_0721 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-messages/+bug/1259896/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs Post to : unity-api-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-api-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
