The new notifs

@Dave33333  
It’s just a minor change, but if more people don’t like it we’ll remove it I guess, though if more people are fine with it then it’ll stay.

@Mike  
Yup, exactly. If too many people are upset about this change, we’ll remove it.

Maybe like bottom pics. Full height, no lowering font size and a bit wider padding for notifications.  
 

@Background Pony #B643  
Sounds like a good idea, I’ll consider it, thanks for the suggestion.

@Luna  
I second this.

@Background Pony #B643  
I like this. It fits a lot more with the general theme of the site.

I feel like the bell should be in the box too to make it more visually cohesive.

@Luna  
I fourth this.
 
@kleptomage  
The point is to make the number stand out while not breaking the minimalist look of the buttons. Also, the number background is the same color as the whole button when moused-over.

@Barhandar  
I’m aware. Only having the number in a box makes it look distinct from the notification bell, as if they are two icons with different functions. It doesn’t really matter. I’m just saying how I would do it.

@kleptomage  
Seconding.

@Background Pony #B643  
The bottom ones look better to me as well. The no-rounded-corners style is rather constraining in this regard, I wouldn’t mind a complete redesign to be frank (more whitespace, less clutter, less borders, etc.)
 
@Luna  
There’s always going to be someone upset about design changes. Just be patient and go through with it, Derpibooru could really use a better look.

Yeah, I like this look.
