Well, most of that information is meant to be visible with the notifications that update within ~60 seconds:
I ran into some issues early on w/ them so they aren't 100% flushed out but I'm sure I could get them more flushed out.
I can't quite remember why, but there was some sort of issue w/ not being able to get the orange highlight text to work properly on the new layout so that's why they don't have it. This was years ago though by now so perhaps I can figure out a solution now.
I personally far prefer the orange text; it gives an immediate and detailed level of what needs attention that the tiny icons doesn't provide. If there's any way to preserve it post-changeover, I'd strongly advocate for it to survive.

I am very much inclined to agree. I am already missing the Mission notification itself lighting up orange...so hoping there is a way you'll be able to work with that again.

Yea. I mean, I feel like both are positive and useful. I personally utilize the notifications more than the orange but that's probably largely because I sit idle on the Forums page lol.
I most definitely intended and spent hours and hours trying to get it to work when I first built this interface. And then I think some time down the road I tried again and still couldn't get it to work.
It's been too long though and I cannot remember the specific reason it wasn't working. It was something to do with how the classes and html was all working.

Oh, the icons are certainly useful. But there are some things that they just don't cover - missions, overview activity, and trade broker sales are the biggest for me. I do like the orange text, but if icons are the notifications of the future (haha), I think I'd be satisfied if they were updated to include other things.
