Sometimes badges can be helpful. Other times they can be really irritating. Here's how to activate them and deactivate them.</p> <!--break--> <p>I have to admit that I find badge notifications
really annoying. Sometimes they're really helpful, and I
do leave them on for most things. But other times they drive me to distraction — I can't stand to see an application icon with a red number glaring at me, a reminder of some unfinished business or something I have to do.</p> <p>Sometimes there are good reasons why those items have gone unfinished or unanswered, and I'm tired of my apps passively reminding me that they're still waiting for me! That's why I turn off notification badges that annoy me.</p> <h2>To turn notification badges on and off</h2> <ol><li>Click on the <strong></strong> menu.</li> <li>Select <strong>System Preferences</strong>.</li> <li>Click on <strong>Notifications</strong>.</li> <li>Select the app you want to change the badge status of.</li> <li>Uncheck (or check) the <strong>Badge app icon</strong> checkbox.</li> <li>Close Notifications.</li> </ol><p><a href='

But this way you can keep the distractions to a dull roar.</p> <p>I hope this helps you get your badges under control. Any questions? Let me know.</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-26354"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='
