The icon that says how many messages there are is in orange. I want to have an option to change that colour because red and orange grab peoples attention so they look at the messages. This got me a bit addicted to looking at the messages. And though programmers have the skill to be able to do this, they just don't! If this becomes a feature, I would change the colour to purple or grey.

I think it's fine. It doesn't really grab my attention, and it is easy to ignore. A lot of popular Scratchers do. Also, messages aren't supposed to pester you. If you're getting a lot of studio activity messages, then try to leave some studios and don't join as many in the future.
