For those of you who use the Fluid SSB with Facebook... is there a way to have it display badges in the Dock icon? Fluid claims that this is possible but it won't work for me. :confused:
 
Update...I found an applescript that supposedly can do this, but I'm totally unfamiliar with scripts. :eek: Any advice?
 
I'm trying to do the same thing.

Can anyone help?

Also, I'm trying to find a png of the facebook icon for iPhone (so I can use it on the fluid app, everything I've found on google images comes close, but still not the icon i need)

Thanks.

Here's the one I use: http://csi.nfshost.com/goodies/

Sorry about the long reply, somehow I deleted notifications for this thread. And I still haven't found a way to add badges to the icon! :(
 
You can have dock badges show up by using a userscript from userscripts.org

Step 1: Open Preferences (cmd+,)
Step 2: Click Show All, And then click General
-Make sure "Fluid attempts to show Dock badge labels" is checked
Step 3: From the Script Menu at the top (the script icon) choose browse Userscripts.org
Step 4: on Userscripts.org search "facebook fluid"
Step 5: click the script you want, I chose "Facebook Dock Badges - Inbox & Notifications" on the subsequent page click the big "Install" button.

Accept all the following stuff, and restart your Fluid app.

I can confirm that this works for me. (Make sure you have the latest Fluid)
