With 47776 unread messages (I've dumped a lot of old mail into my Gmail account), the favicon displays "477". This doesn't really help me. When the count is too high, it would be much more useful to display only the last few digits (so "776" or maybe "..76"), so the number would actually change when new mail came in.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

It's great to hear feedback from usage based on a high inbox count—especially with a great feature suggestion. I'll be pushing this fix with the next release, hopefully within the week.

I decided to just righ-align the text, so that the smaller numbers (1s, 10s, & 100s) will always appear. Going over 1000, the number will expand to the left. This, of course, will obstruct the large numbers, but will actually be useful.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

Peter
