Why don't I see the unread message count in the title bar of my Circuit Desktop App on Windows?

Last updated:
If you are using the Circuit Desktop App on Windows, you may not be able to see the unread messages count in the apps' title bar. This occurs because Windows Aero is not enabled on your computer.

If your computer meets the hardware and software requirements to run Windows Aero:

  1. Set your display to use Windows Aero.
  2. Close the Desktop App.

    Make sure the Desktop App is not running in the system tray. If it is still running, click the Circuit icon in the system tray and select Exit.

  3. Start the Desktop App.

Once connected, Circuit Desktop App will show the unread message count in the left area of the title bar.
