I manage to get my email widget working thanks to th code here so kindly uploaded Byron Todd, I have a no new mail state and a New mail state, but where in the code can I reset to a default state, so that when the email notifier has been click and the user has gone to url I cam set Object.state to default so it displays a fresh icon, Sorry for my bad english.

 

 

'Global variables here
Dim UserID, Passwd    'Placeholders for user id and password
Dim CtrlKey

Const VK_Control = &H11 ' Control key

'Called when the script is executed
Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
    UserID = Object.LocalStorage("UserID")    'Retrieve saved user id information
    Passwd = Object.LocalStorage("Passwd")    'Retrieve saved password information

    CtrlKey = False
    VerifyParams    'Check to see if user id and password have been set

    Object.SetTimer    500, 300000 '300000ms equals 5 minutes - adjust to your liking
End Sub

Sub VerifyParams
    If UserID = "" Or Passwd = ""    Then
            SetParams    'Get the user id and password
    End If
    CheckGmail    'The process to check and count # of gmails via the Atom feed

    If Moved = False Then
        If CtrlKey Then    'Control-Click was detected, so configure object is called

            CtrlKey = False
        Else
            DesktopX.Object("DotGmailURL").ExecuteCommand    'Open the default browser to Gmail
        End If
    End If
End Function

    End If

Probably in the OnLButtonUp function, after the ExecuteCommand.

Function Object_OnLButtonUp(x, y, moved)
    If Moved = False Then
        If CtrlKey Then    'Control-Click was detected, so configure object is called
            SetParams
            CtrlKey = False
        Else
            DesktopX.Object("DotGmailURL").ExecuteCommand    'Open the default browser to Gmail

'set object state here
        End If
    End If
End Function
