Better visibility needed.

Steps to reproduce

None

Expected behaviour

This is more likely a feature request. Anouncements should draw more attention. Perhaps, changing app's top bar icon to red and making it pulse distinctively may help people to notice it.

Lack of sound warnings is a really annoying issue on browsers; people do not notice things while they are working on other tabs or workspaces. I guess this sound notification issue is a more fundamental problem beyond this app. Anyway, a sound warning is sorely needed in browsers. I hoped announcement center could alleviate this need to an extent, if its icons were in an eye-catching color and even animated when an announcement is received. Another suggestion might be, marking anouncement's notification in a special distinctive colour and put it always on top of the list than other standard message notifications.

Actual behaviour

No sound warning, not distinguishable from standard notifications, no special priority and color in notifications.

Server configuration

Operating system:
Centos 7
Web server:
Apache
Database:
MariaDB
PHP version:
7.3
Nextcloud version: (see Nextcloud admin page)
21.0.4
Where did you install Nextcloud from:
GitHub

Client configuration

Browser:
Firefox 92
Operating system:
Linux 5.4.0 / X11

Start by reviewing the announcement center top-bar icon and notification entries described in the issue, then determine whether browser sound warnings belong to this app or a broader notification system. Done requires an agreed, testable design for visibility, priority, color, animation, and sound behavior.
