I can't say a lot about this right now, but this might help you... the element "#notifs>a" has an attribute "data-count" that contains the current number of notifications. So you might be able to do something like: #notifs>a { ... icon when you HAVE notifications ... } #notifs>a[data-count="0"] { ... icon for NO notifications ... }
