Dropbox tray icon in Plasma 5

Hello,
is it possible to show the dropbox tray icon into Plasma 5 tray?
What I have is:
* plasma-desktop (AUR)
* dropbox (AUR)
** dropbox is running as a systemd daemon (as described in the wiki)
In KDE 4 everything works fine, in Plasma 5 the dropbox process starts but I see no tray icon.

It should, but it all depends on how it's done. I suspect that we'll all have to use some kind of an additional systray applet specially for apps that still use xembed, as a legacy compatibility solution. But, yes, as more apps switch to Qt5 and more and more non kde/qt apps get support for libindicator, the need for such compatibility will disappear.
As explained in that article, biggest problem are proprietary apps (Skype is one of most notable), as they usuall need a lot more time to follow up.

Dropbox causing system tray icons to disappear

I installed dropbox from AUR yesterday and everything appeared to be working fine. I set it up to load on boot and when I booted Arch (KDE) this morning, I noticed that the only icon in my system tray was the dropbox icon. After logging out and back in several times, the problem was still there so I un-installed dropbox, logged out and back in again and all my system tray icons are back. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
Regards .....

But perhaps the timing issue is the same.
Where do you launch NALDESK?
Login Script? Run Reg Key? Startup Folder?
The latter two both run later in the startup process and may help.
You could also test launching via a Policy package action set to run "When
Desktop Is Active", which would run after all of these.
Considering relaunching NALDESK works everytime, then you may be seeing the
same timing problem.

[SOLVED] Huge tray icons in KDE

Until the other day, my tray icons looked like this (good): http://i.imgur.com/o0v5hVd.png
Now, it looks like this (bad): http://i.imgur.com/FD77IWF.png
I tried downgrading some kde packages, but couldn't find the one responsible for the change.
Has anyone else encountered this? Is it a bug or a feature? Can I fix it?

It's a "feature":
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kde-workspac … 2e883f0af4
You can fix it by reverting the changes in /usr/share/apps/plasma/packages/org.kde.systemtray/contents/ui/main.qml yourself. It's javascript, so there's no need to recompile.

[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?

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).

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
Hope this helps.

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...)?

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.
finally, enjoy some awesomeness:

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

Unfortunately 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

Access Connection Tray Icon disappear

Hi, I got a problem on a T61p model 8889-AB5 owned by my boss. The ThinkVantage Access Connections tray icon was disappeared occasionally. It is noticed that below registry keys were missed and I needed to add them back to get the tray icon displayed.ACTray=C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACTray.exeACWLIcon="C:\\Program Files\\ThinkPad\\ConnectUtilities\\ACWLIcon.exe This T61p hardware was checked by Lenovo service center on July 2008; no problem was found and the Win XPP was reinstalled from recovery CD afterward. Does anyone encounter similar problem? Thanks, Eric

And still no improvements in version 6.11!
Can we expect a fix for this?

How to hide tray icon when in jframe

Sometimes Tray Icon not loaded correctly

I am trying to make my (html/ajax) website available as a desktop application, (with little enhancements like notifications in the background etc.) without writing any extra code. Everything works fine except the tray icon. Sometimes the tray icon is not loading correctly.
Following is the structure of my sample air application.
1. An html page(page1.html) i am using as my inital window.
It creates an invisible html window and loads a new page (page2.html) as below.
        var options = new air.NativeWindowInitOptions();
        options.systemChrome = "standard";
        var windowBounds = new air.Rectangle(200,250,300,400);
        newHTMLLoader = air.HTMLLoader.createRootWindow(false, options, false, windowBounds);
        newHTMLLoader.window.mainAppWindow = window;
        newHTMLLoader.load(new air.URLRequest("page2.html"));
and later redirecting to the website.
2. I am using this invisible html window to control the application behavior (like sending ajax requests in the background, monitoring network, checking for updates etc.)
page2.html contains code to load the tray icon for the application.
Here is javascript the code in page2.html
function BgWindow(){
        this.init = function(){
            this.loadTrayIcon();
        var iconLoadComplete = function(event){
            air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.icon.bitmaps = [event.target.content.bitmapData];
        this.loadTrayIcon = function() {
            air.NativeApplication.nativeApplication.autoExit = true;
            var iconLoad = new air.Loader();
            if (air.NativeApplication.supportsSystemTrayIcon) {
                iconLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(air.Event.COMPLETE,iconLoadComplete);
                iconLoad.load(new air.URLRequest("lmt16.png"));
    window.onload = function(){
        bgWindow = new BgWindow();
        bgWindow.init();
But the problem here is, sometimes the icon is loaded correctly but sometimes its not loaded.
What am I missing here ?
Any help is appreciated.
I am attaching the complete application if somebody needs to analyze it.

Sorry. Your attachment didn't come through. It triggered an error message about a "malformed container violation." Please try to rezip it and try it again.

Is there any way by which I can not use Thunar Sys Tray icon?

I am using stalonetray in OpenBox in Arch and when I copy-paste or cut-paste files in Thunar, a sys tray icon pops up. I don't want it to pop up.
Is there any way by which I can make it to not pop up?

Trilby wrote:
I haven't used thunar for a while - but I don't remember it ever doing this before. I just verified that it doesn't here (freshly installed thunar, and cut-pasted, copy-pasted, etc, and I didn't get a tray icon.
Are you sure this isn't some other tool, like a clipboard manager? Are their any tooltip popups or menus available on the tray icon and/or what happens when you click the icon?
No. I use only Thunar. When I hover on the icon it says that "1 file operation running" when a copy-paste or cut-paste operation happens and when I left click and right click on it, it shows the copying window of thunar. The icon shows two small yellow folders placed diagonally. It's the same icon that appears on the file operation progress window of Thunar. I don't know whether Numix has anything to do with the specific icon though.

[SOLVED] tray icons in i3

Hi!
I just installed i3 and I'm happy, I customized my i3bar with conky.. and I noticed, that I don't have tray icons. I tried stalonetray, but I would like have it integrated with my main bar.
There are my current config files, there is screenshot in the same repo.
I've read that i3bar or i3status have tray out-of-the-box, but I'm not able to restore/configure it. Any advice?
Last edited by nbb (2014-11-09 18:54:10)

It's not so easy, I tried it earlier.
Right now my bar section looks like that:
bar {
status_command ~/.i3/conky-i3bar
strip_workspace_numbers no
position bottom
workspace_buttons yes
tray_output primary
font pango:Consolas 9
colors {
separator #666666
background #222222
statusline #dddddd
focused_workspace #0088CC #0088CC #ffffff
active_workspace #333333 #333333 #ffffff
inactive_workspace #333333 #333333 #888888
urgent_workspace #2f343a #900000 #ffffff
Still no tray (in stalonetray icons show up, so there is problem with i3bar.

How to avoid orphaned system tray icon?

I know how to create a system tray icon for my application using InstallSysTrayIcon().
I also know how to remove it before the program terminates (calling RemoveSysTrayIcon()).
But the program closes in an expected way, or through the Task Manager, for example, the icon isn't deleted, and the user could think that the application is still running. Moreover, when you re-launch the application, a second icon is shown.
The Windows OS removes the orphaned icon when the mouse hovers over the tray.
It seems that this is an OS issue, and I did some web searches: I found this describing a way to avoid this behaviour in a C# application, but I haven't been able to port this solution to a CVI application.
Is there a way to do this with CVI 2009?

Hi Luca!
Anyway if you're worried about program crashes your only option...
Actually what I'm worried about is a little bit more complicated: my CVI application could be remotely closed by other applications running on the same or other PCs on the LAN. I should avoid the icon is left on the system tray while the application has been closed, giving a wrong information to the user...
I've been using the task manager only to "simulate" a force close made by a different application.
And sure, I must increase the error handling as much as I can to avoid application crash

How do I disable the tray icon for firefox (version 5)

I want to get rid of the tray icon for firefox 5.

I should also add this info for all to see clear as part of my question (can be seen in More system details too):
I liked that version, was the first ever FireFox browser I tried and because of it made it my number 1 browser. There have been a heck of a lot from 3.6 to 18 though I think we’d all agree. Progress can and often is messy, but worth it.
Which is fine except mine, a different version, up-to-date plugins – and I’ve still same problem as these guys. It’s exactly the same even for me who has updated: How do we get rid of the Plugin Check Screen every time we start FireFox? I know I am up-to-date – as it tells me every single time!
I agree everyone should be up-to-date with the software and this may very well be the case that solves a lot of people with lower versions – yet I can say I updated from version 12 to the latest 18, spent the time getting half a dozen different updates as it wanted (all of which are supported according to the link you provided) plugins and yet I am still having the same problem as users with 3.6 and older plugins! Went back to version 12.0 and I am getting the problem since installing version 18.
Therefore from the fact I’m still getting the popup every time telling me everything is updated and safe, which is lovely to know, still doesn’t change the fact it won’t go away! Not a major problem but it is getting tedious now every single time.
Like I say I am willing to wait and see if this gets fixed anyway which to be fair, FireFox seem to do a lot better than the competition. If it doesn’t though I’d still rather go back to an older version just to be rid of it! But not even that is now working to be gone of it! It’s gotten that ridiculous for me now too!
