no visual indicator for sms/txt received on menu bar

[darchon]

i want an indicator at the top menu bar. yes, at the moment it does show on the today screen, but when my phone is locked, the today screen isn't visible. only the top menu bar.

yes a voicemail indicator does show up at the top. but not for sms/txt msgs. isn't that queer? i thought so.

and when i do receive sms/txt msgs or voicemails, there is no flashing indicator on the phone either. most phones will blink red or something when a voicemail comes in. but my treo 800w does not.
