Abnormal red pixels near tray icons
Hi,
My system is always uptodate and I don't how happened but there are abnormal red pixels near tray icons for two weeks. Firstly I supposed that it's a death pixel but it wasnt. The locations of red pixels always change as soon as the location of icons are changed when open the programs in different order. I tested my LCD screen with death pixel tester program and there is actually no death pixel. It is happened when I open a new program especially VLC player and Rhythmbox.
Here is my tray icons;
The only solution that I found for now is reopen the program or run "gnome-panel --replace" command then these red pixels disappear. But I could not figure out the problem yet.
Gnome version 2.32.1

The snapshot is the same appearance what I see at right side of gnome-panel where tray icons stand.
Here is the bigger size of tray icons
normally it should be like that,
If I had a hardware problem it must have every time at the same posion of my LCD screen, such as watching fullscreen movie, or using the other OS, I should have seen the same red pixels at the same place. Maybe it's related with gnome panel maybe my theme or some drivers but I could not figure out the problem yet as I said before.

Is there a dark-red pixel in the middle of my ipad 2 screen, I 've just it for 6 days. After that I went the store (Thailand) to turn it, they told me that it's a dead pixel and Apple won't replace it to the new one - there must be more than 3 to claim. How can I do?
The store guy told me I should go Apple Service Center. The Center's staff kept my ipad and told that replacement depends on Regional office at Singapore.
She also blame me that "Why don't you look for dead pixel before you brought?"
What !!! Dead Pixel is the fault of Apple Factory, but she said like I'm so stupid to brought a dead-pixel ipad.
"If you want me to do something on your case call to Singapore by yourself" she said.
After I called to Singapore, I found myself the staff there treated me so bad and confuse.
1. The first guy at Singapore said "Because you 've just brought it for 6 week you can choose between replacement or refund, but leave me your numbers we will call you back."
2. Shortly, a rude guy called me - said to me about Bright and Dead Pixel - then said "It's not our authority to replace ipad for you, you paid your money for our dealer (Store in Thailand), so you must ask for resposibility from them. "
What !!!!! He treated me like I'm not a customer. Store and Care Center in Thailand told me it ups to Singapore, but Singapore told me not.
Who lied? However, I'm still Apple Customer. Whatever country I brought it, I paid for Apple product. Where are thier responsibilities?
I hope, Apple U.S. is my last resort.

64 GB 3GGiven that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever. -
[SOLVED] Spacing between start menu and tray icons lost
Hi,
I am using KDEmod + Arch
After todays upgrade, spacing between start menu at the left and tray icons at the right lost making the tray icons align to the left side of the tray. An X mark in a red box appeared in between on mouse hover, shows the message that : Unable to load the widget, could not find the requested component: stasks.
A screen shot is here:
http://twitpic.com/od3jh
What is to be done to rectify it?
Last edited by absolutevoid (2009-11-05 18:31:36)Long:
You're using the stasks plasma widget, which likely just needs to be recompiled for kde 4.3.3, as it was just upgraded from 4.3.2 in Arch's Extra repository and I imagine the same applies to KDEMod.
pacman -Q | grep stask will likely show you what the stasks plasma widget is called.
If it's a kdemod package or returns nothing (meaning stasks is in some other plasma applet package, perhaps kdemod-plasma-applets or something.. pacman -Q | grep plasm would show all such packages with 'plasma' in the name), you'll need to recompile it with ABS or just post on the KDEMod forum and wait for them to update it. If you haven't rebooted since upgrading, there's sometimes something out of my ability to explain which causes KDE stuff not to show up / work properly even after running 'kbuildsycoca4' or 'kbuildsycoca' or killing and restarting kdm until said reboot.
The two stasks plasmoids I see in the arch user repository are "stasks-manager-plasmoid" (which you're likely using) and "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg". If pacman -Q | grep stask shows one of those, simply recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_widget, and you should be good to go on logout/in or reboot or what have you.
Short:
Run in konsole: pacman -Q | grep stask
If it shows something with "kdemod" in the name or returns nothing, you should probably post a bug report with the KDEMod/Chakra guys at chakra-project.org (bug tracker is currently down, use the forums). If it shows "stasks-manager-plasmoid" or "plasma-stasks-patched-plasmoid-hg", recompile it via yaourt -S name_of_the_package and log out/in (or reboot if necessary.. it shouldn't be though).

Hi there,
I have a problem with my appl. May ý ask you?
I made a jpopup for using both menu in window and in system tray icon.
I used
trayIcon.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.isPopupTrigger()) {
jpopup.setLocation(e.getX(), e.getY());
jpopup.setInvoker(jpopup);
jpopup.setVisible(true);
});showing jpopup on trayicon.
But it is not closing itself. To close it, i have to push any menuitem on it.
Normally popup must close itself if we click mouse on anywhere of screen. But mine is not closing? How can fix this?regerybets wrote:
I red but couldnt find any solution.There is no solution. To get the behavior you desire you need to use trayicon.setPopupMenu(...) . But that method only takes a java.awt.PopupMenu , not a javax.swing.JPopupMenu . The code you posted is a workaround for using a JPopupMenu on a tray icon. Consequently, the workaround has a few limitations that you wont be able to fix.
EDIT
Well I came up with a workaround for the workaround. I was wondering what to call the new class when I thought "JTrayIcon" sounds ok. Curious, I googled for the name and eventually came across this [blog entry|http://weblogs.java.net/blog/alexfromsun/archive/2008/02/jtrayicon_updat.html] which references [this class|https://swinghelper.dev.java.net/source/browse/swinghelper/src/java/org/jdesktop/swinghelper/tray/JXTrayIcon.java?view=markup] called JXTrayIcon.
Turns out this class uses the same solution I came up with. An zero-sized-focused dialog is used to detect when to close the popup menu. When the dialog looses focus (by clicking on the desktop for example), the java popup mechanism automatically closes the JPopupMenu. So instead of posting my solution (which is exactly the same) I'll simply reference you to JXTrayIcon and the blog. -
This is the release of what I consider a 'simple' tray icon for netcfg. The aim is a very simple front to start/stop netcfg/netlib profiles and just make it a little more convenient. Not a full clicky configure-everything GUI.
The icon and tooltip indicate the network connectivity, and networks can be selected for the menu. It's still a little rough around the edges, but already very useful.
At present it can connect/disconnect profiles and run auto-wireless on an interface.
Permissions
As netcfg needs to be run as root, the tray icon needs to be configured to run /usr/bin/netcfg-tray-helper as root somehow.
By default the tray icon uses gksudo, in the package 'gksu'. This brings in gnome deps - however this can be changed:
cp -r /etc/xdg/netcfg-tray ~/.config/
Then edit the root_cmd option to something without gnome deps. I set mine to sudo, then ran visudo and configured sudo to allow passwordless use of /usr/bin/netcfg-tray-helper.
Notifications
Notifications are somewhat configurable. Have a look at the default configuration, presently it supports:
* no notifications
* libnotify
* dzen2
For libnotify with no gnome deps, either use xfce4-notifyd or noteo (written by an Archer! - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15952)
Download
PKGBUILD: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27601
Source: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/netcfg/tr … y-3.tar.gz
Package: ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/netcfg/tr … pkg.tar.gz
Depends on netcfg >=2.2.0b3 (testing) - The netcfg release in testing is pretty stable, and will be moved to [core] in the near future with some minor changes.
Feature Requests
Keep in mind the aim is a very simple front to start/stop netcfg/netlib profiles and just make it a little more convenient. Not to become a full clicky configure-all GUI.
* Creating new profiles - Next feature to add. It'll be basic, not a full GUI for every option, probably just a simple text box/editor.
* Scanning for available wireless networks - Will be optional. When I find a _clean_ way that does not introduce new deps, and does not involve parsing iwlist scan. I'm thinking a very short C app that uses the standard wireless extensions to get a parsable list of available networks, though I havn't used C for years.
* Link quality - Maybe. Definitely optional, but like scanning, I need to find a good way to do it.

- picking a new profile on an active interface now disconnects the existing profile (thanks eldragon)

If you've been to that cafe before and made a profile already, then yes, just select the profile in the menu. If you've never been there, you'll need to create the profile, then you can connect. Oh, and it'll get a wiki entry/webpage, and all that soon.

How to add a minimize to system tray icon button?
how can i add a minimize to system tray icon button near the others common buttons usually found on the upper right window bar? (i mean near the _ [] X)
_ for minimize to taskbar
[] for maximizing
X for closing
i'd like to add a fourth button to the left of the _ button for minimizing to system tray
like in many programs the fourth button is a dot shaped one that minimizes the program to system tray
i'd like to add one to my program as well, but i didnt find anything about this kind of buttons neither on google nor on java books
can anyone help me?
thank you!You can't (easily). The window decorations are controled by the operating system. Your best bet is to change the functionality of the minimize-to-taskbar button and make it into a minimize-to-tray button. In fact, all the programs that minimize to the tray on my computer - about 6 of them - do it this way.
like in many programs the fourth button is a dot shaped one that minimizes the program to system trayI've never seen this? -
So, I am developing an application that utilizes a system tray icon.
It's all pretty standard: when you click close, it hides the window and puts a system tray icon in the system tray, when you right click the tray icon, it gives you a menu with options to restore the window or to exit, and if you double left click the icon, it restores the window.
Also, any time you restore the window, the system tray icon is removed.
All that stuff works great, its just that instead of putting the image that I want as the icon, the icon is just blank - transparent - nothing. There is a space where it should be, but the image just isn't there.
The image I'm using is a gif that measures 240 x 240 pixels, and has transparency.
When the window is hidden, the program does this:
try {
tray.add(trayIcon);
} catch (AWTException e) {
System.err.println("TrayIcon could not be added.");
}to add the icon to the tray.
Here's my initialization code. It's in a method called initSysTray, which is called once in the window's constructor.
if (SystemTray.isSupported()) {
tray = SystemTray.getSystemTray();
//image that will be used for System tray Icon
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("Icon2.gif");
//action listener for the exit menu option
//that is part of the tray icon's pop-up menu
//it ends the application
ActionListener exitListener = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("Exiting...");
System.exit(0);
//action listener for the restore menu option
//that is part of the tray icon's pop-up menu
//it unhides the window and removes the tray icon
ActionListener unHideListener = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("Unhiding");
setVisible(true);
tray.remove(trayIcon);
//Action Listener that recieves events from tray icon
//basically if someone double clicks the tray icon
//then the window is restored
ActionListener actionListener = new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
System.out.println("Unhiding");
setVisible(true);
tray.remove(trayIcon);
//create the pop-up menu
PopupMenu popup = new PopupMenu();
//create the exit option
MenuItem defaultItem = new MenuItem("Exit");
defaultItem.addActionListener(exitListener);
//create the restore option
MenuItem unHideItem = new MenuItem("Restore");
unHideItem.addActionListener(unHideListener);
//add the options to the menu
popup.add(unHideItem);
popup.add(defaultItem);
//create the tray icon
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image.getImage(), "Bluetooth Remote by D Law", popup);
trayIcon.setImageAutoSize(true);
trayIcon.addActionListener(actionListener);
else{
System.out.println("System Tray not supported");
}So, any help with my dissapearing icon would be greatly appreciated.Hi, are you not suppose to catch possible exceptions thrown by the TrayIcon constructor? :
//create the tray icon
trayIcon = new TrayIcon(image.getImage(), "Bluetooth Remote by D Law", popup);Try surrounding this line of code with a try and catch block. Referring to the API
documentation, there are 4 possible exceptions that can be thrown. Errors may
be present there, and we need a way to identify it. :) -

Can't mount Time Capsule on PC (white system tray icon no longer there)
My new time capsule is working perfectly on my MacBookPro, however recently I tried to get it to work on my PC laptop. I easily got the wireless internet work on the PC, that's not a problem. I installed the airport utility on my PC and it was able to recognize it through the airport utility interface/configuring window where I could change settings, etc., just like I could on my Mac. There used to be (on my PC) this white icon in my system tray on the lower right of my screen. When I clicked on this I could type my password, as prompted, and mount to the time capsule, which I could now see in My Computer as a drive. I tested a few files by dragging them over into the drive, and it worked fine. Now, a week later the icon in the system tray has disappeared, and I can no longer see the time capsule on my PC in My Computer. I can still click on the airport utility icon in my programs and see/change settings in my time capsule from my PC, but cannot see nor access the drive from My Computer (or mount by clicking on this now missing icon). Anyone else know what I can do? Thanks in advance!
I was just having this problem and figured out that the white system tray icon is the Airport Base Station Agent. It wasn't running for me for some reason, too, but I found it and started it back up again at C:\Program Files\AirPort\APAgent.exe.
Here's an Apple Support article (it's a little old) I found that discusses drive mapping in windows with the Airport Base Station Agent: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331

Little question about a Claws-Mail tray icon theme, and how to use it.
There is a Claws Mail tray icon theme available on gnome-look.org:
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ … tent=71540
These are the instructions the author gives to install the theme:
Claws Mail Tango trayicon theme
Claws-Mail version = 3.3.0
copy icons claws-mail-3.3-0/src/pixmaps, recompile and install.
So what am I supposed to do (especially since the newest Claws Mail version is 3.4.0...)?Stalafin wrote:

I would recommend using ABS. just makepkg -o first so the sources get DL'd and unpacked. copy your icons and makepkg -e so the sources are not extracted again and therefore your new icons overwitten.

Need to Lock down Keyboard Manager System Tray Icon
I run 27 MacBooks at a Secondary School. I have them setup for Windows XP Pro (I'll be setting up the Mac OS over then next few weeks but this is a MS Windows School so lets start slow). Hoever I need to be able to disable the "Boot Mac OS" option on the Keyboard Manager. But still have access to Volume and Eject etc Keys.
Solution: 1
a .adm file so that I can contol what is avilable to students through Group Policy (disable reboot in Mac, Disable Boot Camp First time Run Help Screen)
Solution 2
A Keyboard driver that will make all the Keys work (and remote if possible) but has no System tray Icon
Solution 3
Hide the System tray icon (as say an option in the Boot Camp Control Panel which I can already disable through group policy) then all I need to kill is the anoying first time run help screen.
The help screen is anoying because for each of the 800 student will probably only login into each laptop once each so that will come up every time, because I reimage every 3 months or so.
The reboot in Mac OS would be no problem if it did not perminatly change to boot order and the Mac OS side boot change back is too complicated for most first time Mac users. The way I will be introducing the Mac OS is telling them about the hold the "option" key trick on boot. hence the dummys will get what they are expecting, and the smarties have the option without afecting the dummys.
I relise this is a Devolopers thing but I can find no other way to inform them of the need. I dout I am the only System admin needing this.
Thank You
Message was edited by: Solus VenatorUnfortunately no that did not help
Using msconfig only stops the Keyboard Manager from running. I can do that simply be removing it from the registry with out the annoying msconfig messages. (good for testing though)
I have also looked into the Hide tray Icon Path but that only tucks it behind a set of “<<”
And the reboot function does Permanently Change the Boot Order. (Not the boot sector necessarily, The Boot Order) to change it back you need to login into the Mac OS and System Prefs Disk Boot Select the Boot Camp Part and Reboot …… Big Pain in neck.
The Keyboard Manager icon does not have an eject option… If is needed for the Eject Key to work (and the Volume Mute, Up, Down, Brightness Up, Down. Note it is not Needed for the Play FF Rew Keys they work fine with the Fn Key)
Here is the test
With no icon showing, or an icon with no reboot option : Press The Eject Key if the CD Ejects Success, I also need Volume do not care about the others as much
As Stated this is a Developer( Programmer) oversite and needs them to put in an option to remove the reboot option from the System tray Icon. Removal of the Icon would also be desirable
Thank You -
Strange, red, pixelated images
Hi,
I recently purchased Lightroom 5 and I've been really enjoying it so far.
One issue I've found however is that occasionally Lightroom creates a weird, red pixelated effect on edited images in library module. I've posted a develop view, and library (loupe) view example below. It tends to occur on under exposed images that I've used noise reduction on. Sometimes, this persists in develop module too.
Develop module: http://i.imgur.com/G7hROKv.jpg
Library module: http://i.imgur.com/nSmp72T.png
Any ideas about what is causing this or how to fix it?
FYI, it exports fine.
Thanks!
MFrank,
Actually, they were all similar enough to be able to crop, lift and stamp, so the viewable versions are all in working order. Problem solved. At this point, I'm just seeing if there are any other answers as far as fixing the Masters? I do not have any known backups of the originals before they were corrupted. The only thing that comes to my mind is to export all of the cropped versions and then to reimport them as Masters, but I really don't know what I would be doing. I mean, I know how to do that, but don't know if doing it somehow diminishes the image quality. The strange thing is, when I export the version, it is almost 4 times the size in MB of the Master (after exporting the Master). I don't fully understand image size as it relates to image quality, but I was always under the impression that the larger the file size, the more data stored and the higher the quality of the image. Therefore, a 5MB JPEG is of higher quality than a 2.3MB JPEG for example. Since the originals were JPEGS, I would assume that by exporting versions of the Master, I would be compressing an already compressed image? I don't really know, so I am not going to do anything about this unless someone can shed some clear light on what it all means, and what the ramifications of these types of actions would be.
