@Jonathan5: To see the theme in preview you have to navigate to `yoursite.com/categories?preview_theme_id=xx` (whatever `xx` is for you – I think it changes).

@awesomerobot: On my site, the bell overlaps the “unread” indicator:

Is there any chance to support other states, apart from just toggling on/off?

Also, when I press on mute right now, the category disappears with no indication of how to get it back from the same page. That doesn’t like ideal UX.

Edit #1: Regarding my last point: the categories only disappear if the user had no muted categories when the page first loaded. If the user did, there’s a “Muted categories” section at the bottom of the page, listing all muted categories. But if the user did not, that section is not available and any newly muted categories just disappear.

Edit #2: It looks like trying to switch between normal/watching (as opposed to the default mute/normal) doesn’t work. The component still mutes categories.
