Extension summary
Get a notification if you got an email on your gmail account since the last time you checked (visited your inbox), without constant interruptions or counts of thousands of unread messages.
Usage: -If there are no new messages the extension icon shows a blank page. -If a message arrived the icon will turn into a red paper plane. -You can go to your inbox by clicking the extension icon. -The icon will only show a paper plane if something new arrived since the last time you visited gmail.
Notes: -The extension doesn't show the unread count (this is on purpose and meant to be a feature). -You must be logged in gmail for the extension to work. If you aren't it will show a greyed icon with an "X".
