(Archived) Can I turn off the red circle around the "New Note" button

[RobLewis 26]

Just installed the version 2 beta and now, whenever I bring EN to the front, I have to watch a big red circle get drawn around the "new note" button. How can I disable this?

Just create a note, Rob. That is just a visual cue for new users, prompting them to use the darn Evernote software!

Yes, this circle should only show up if you have exactly one note in your entire account.

Something is very weird.

I launched the 2.0 beta for the first time and it converted my database.

If I click on "All Notebooks (0)" it says "Viewing 2034 notes from all notebooks".

The list of notebooks on the left also shows one notebook with 5 notes and another with 90.

However, I have 15 other notebooks that aren't shown in the list, but are shown in the pop-up menu that appears when I click the lozenge button up by the toolbar. The notes in these notebooks seem to be present, but the question is, why aren't these notebooks displayed in the list on the left, and why does it say "0" notes for "All Notebooks" (and of course, why does the red circle appear)?

OK, well, it looks like if I select a notebook in the pop-up list and then create a new note in it, the notebook will then (and only then) be displayed in the list on the left.

This looks like a bug to me.

In one of my notebooks (that had 5 notes), I find that I have to create two new notes to make the red circle stop appearing. Then if I delete either one of them, the red circle reappears.

This shouldn't be specific to notebooks, this should only occur if you have exactly one note in your entire account (i.e. across all notebooks).

It sounds like your client may have some sort of problem. Can you try completely Quitting Evernote (from the elephant icon in the menu bar) and then start it again to see if that clears up the problems?
