We would like to have a screen in our app where all notifications are displayed. Building that page is not a problem, but we also would like to have an indication of the number of notifications in the menu. I’ve seen several topics on the forum where a red dot with a number displays the number of i…

The method of applying CSS through a rich text component only applied to classic apps, so if you are pulling that code from an old post, it most likely doesn’t apply anymore. Anything with the PRE SPAN STYLE tags is old. What @Himaladin shared is the new way to apply CSS. [image] Custom …

Thanks for thinking along! The things I had tried were indeed no longer supported. With the HTML code, I get a red bubble on my screen. So that works! I can’t get the bubble in the right place. I’ll continue responding in Himaladin’s existing thread, so everything stays nicely bundled.

Honestly I’m having trouble with this also. I can get the floating notification but I actually need it to be in the current screen (Dashboard) and not just floating to the right on the bottom.

If you only need to display a badge on the navigation tab, you can skip the first code section and go directly to the “Additionally, CSS codes are provided below that you can choose based on your needs: point number 2.” Here, you don’t need any code in the rich text, but you just need a spacer comp…

Thanks for your reply. I have added the code in Step 2 and replaced it with tab-Dashboard [image] and added the spacer with css class: show-counter [image] Still nothing is showing up @Himaladin thanks

Does your plan have custom CSS enabled? I’ve seen in another thread, it turns out the problem is that the custom CSS hasn’t been activated by Glide. Your code is for display on mobile. Make sure you view it on mobile, not desktop.

It is enabled. I know this because I can add this code .eGYzZc.tab-active::before { content: "1"; position: absolute; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 800; color: white; padding: 2px; top: 3px; margin-left: -20px; z-index: 2; height: 20px; width: 20px; …

Try checking whether your [data-testid=“tab-Dashboard”] appears in devtool. Then just copy it from there. [image] elev8td: not to mention the number isn’t dynamic If the navigation buttons cannot display data dynamically.

You are right. It was an extra space in the code. It is working now with the “!” symbol. Thank you @Himaladin !!!
