scott kosman (ID: 00000011c4f80921) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/08/2019 Works a treat after installing and reloading. Only minor issue is that it doesn't work if the Advanced Option for showing unread message count in the icon is enabled but that's an understandable limitation. Would be great if that could be solved but otherwise a solid solution to a problem Google should really implement themselves!
