Am I able to receive taskbar notifications when a build starts or finishes or fails instead of having to open the dashboard? I vaguely remember seeing popups in the past from the notification area of my taskbar before I got a new computer.
What is your OS - Windows/Linux/MacOS?
The popups should appear if they are enabled in the settings. Please check Edit menu->Settings->Notifications
You can also try re-installing the latest version of the app from https://catlight.io/downloads
