The unread badge always showed a number, which tells anyone glancing at the screen how much is waiting. Some people want to know that something is unread without broadcasting how much.

Settings → Notifications → Badge counts gains Dot only:

  • macOS: "•" on the Dock icon and as the menu-bar title
  • Windows: a plain red disc as the taskbar overlay
  • Linux: a plain red disc on the tray icon, and no Unity LauncherEntry count
  • Tray tooltips say "unread messages" without the number

Dot mode counts like the unread-messages mode, so it lights up exactly when that mode would show a number. UnreadBucket gains a Dot variant, which both native renderers draw as the disc without digits; the page's settings sanitizer accepts the new mode.

Part of [#259].

Manual check still needed: switch modes live on each OS and confirm every indicator updates at once.
