[Suggestion] Colour-coding/tagging messages in the inbox by category

[Murdre Dukc]

This is fairly self-explanatory. Hands up whoever never missed an important message in the sea of random news? One time, I missed a message about my player leaving - another club just paid his release clause so it didn't require a reply and I just noticed a week later that he's gone. Had to reload back to the start of the transfer window and give him a new contract.

I'm sure everyone can come up with a bunch of ideas on how to improve the inbox - after all, we all have email accounts - but here's a little mockup, with messages colour-coded:

Hilariously enough, this feature is almost done already - messages are colour-coded and categorised, only display the tag in the opposite corner, once they're opened. It's so pointless it's almost funny.

This tag icon could be reused along with its colour in the list view - as long as it's noticeable.

Another nice feature would be to be able to select messages which always prevent me from continuing the game until I've read them and clicked "accept" - sort of like an immediate-response scenario, except without a choice. Good examples would include a board takeover notification, a player having their release clause paid, a player leaving on free transfer, and other dramatic developments you normally don't have an input on but might want to react immediately to.

This is implemented in the skin that I use but it would be good if was also implemented in the default skins.

Yeah I thought there is probably a skin like that when I noticed the tag on the side. How is it called?

I use Flut’s skin

Thanks for the suggestion @Murdre Dukc, I'm raising this internally as a good idea.
