Description William Jon McCann 2013-08-05 10:52:44 UTC 
Some uses of notebook tabs need a way to indicate the page has new information for the user. For instance, web browsers sometimes use color to indicate a page has a new notification or updates.
Comment 1 Daniel Boles 2017-08-16 08:47:28 UTC 
Isn't this a bit too specific for GTK+ to handle, and something the app dev should implement themselves?
Comment 2 Daniel Boles 2017-08-16 09:11:01 UTC 
Huh, maybe not; there is a :needs-attention child property on GtkStackSwitcher, which indicates a corresponding thing may be considered valid for GtkNotebook.
