The horizontal activity bar should have the same badges as the vertical bar

The horizontal activity bar should have the same badges as the vertical bar. The horizontal bar is good, but missing the git badges is especially frustrating and results in loads of clicking back and forth.

Hi @dontblink ,

Apologies if I am not understanding correctly, but in my version 0.40.3, I see the same icons when the activity bar is in either the Top or Default position.

Do you see something different?

If so, what version are you on?

(Cursor > Help > About)

Sorry, I could have been more clear! I’m not talking about the icons, but the modification badges they can have. Take a look at the below images:

The vertical bar has the Git icon AND has the “1” badge which indicates there has been a change:

The horizontal bar has the Git icon, but the badge is missing:

When you have one of the other menus selected there is no Git badge which might remind you that you have uncommitted changes:

I am on 0.40.3.

Hi @dontblink ,

Apologies if I am misunderstanding, but this is what I see in Cursor 0.40.3 on Windows - the ‘badge’ displaying the change count is displayed when I have the Activity Bar in the top position:

I wonder if it relates to a theme or icon setting of some sort.

Below are screenshots of my theme and icon settings.

These are accessible via the VS Code settings (Ctrl + ,):

I am not about to get badges to be visible with the activity bar in the horizontal position, like I see on your system, so I assume the is a bug instead of a feature request. Should I restart this post as a bug report?

I am on macOS.

I tried changing icons and themes, still no icon badges with the horizontal activity bar:

My workbench settings:

Same here, on macOS.
On Curor, Git count badges are not shown while the option is set to ‘all’.
Tried changing the option on VS Code, it toggles the visibility of Git count badge.
