Help Launcher Pro problem

[the ginger god]

I have the paid version of Launcher Pro. I have removed the home icons and used Bettercut to create my own using shortcuts and icon packs, the problem I have is that when I receive email notifications it doesn't show this on the mail home screen icon?

Shortcuts don't update where as widgets do but I don't know if this works in lp like that or if further work is required
