Bug Description
I believe a nice feature for the five-a-day-applet would be to have it countdown from 5 to 0 so that we can keep track of how many bugs we have left to do today. The big glowing red "5" is a nice prod that reminds you to get a move on, but I believe that after one bug is submitted through the applet, it should decrease to 4, then after another bug, to 3, and so on. Finally when it hits 0, have it as a blue colour instead of red. The blue seems more calming, and more like you've done a job well done than the urgency of the red.

Hi Michael,
sounds like a good idea to me. Before we can add such a counter some work has to be done/information is needed:
* currently the applet does not now the number of bugs a user has submitted, applet has to read user's file in the -data directory
* looking a the stats there are many people doing more than 5 bugs a day, how should the applet handle more than 5 bugs?
My personal opinion is: the icon of an applet should never change, as an applet is identified by its icon, so maybe we should start with a counter in a tooltip and then later add a dropdown list with a counter and all bugs a user worked on (on a given date)
