how to change color of newsgroup name in folder pane if there are new messages or unread messages

I would like to change color of newsgroup names in the folder pane if there are new messages in that newsgroup.

I was able to change the name of the newsgroup itself using this code:

  1. folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, serverType-nntp) {
 color: royalblue !important; 

}

I was able to change the color if there were unread messages in the newsgroup using this code:

  1. folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, serverType-nntp, hasUnreadMessages-true) {
 color: green !important; 

}

I thought maybe this code would work if there were new messages in the newsgroup (something similar works for regular email account Inboxes):

  1. folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, serverType-nntp, newMessages-true) {
 color: red !important; 

}

but that isn't working for me.

Any idea how I can get this to work? Have I got it coded incorrectly?

Thanks, Bill

The code actually has a "#' in column one, but the editor thought I meant a numbered list. The code actually looks like this without the quotes:

"#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, serverType-nntp) {

 color: royalblue !important; 

}"

"#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, serverType-nntp, newMessages-true) {

 color: red !important; 

}"

"#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-cell-text(folderNameCol, serverType-nntp, hasUnreadMessages-true) {

 color: green !important; 

}"

I moved the newMessages-true code after the hasUnreadMessages-true code and it is working now. Should have thought of that to begin with.
