Gnome Fallback-Huge spacing between notification area icons

So, just went in the fallback mode in Gnome, I really like it, but there's way too much space between the icons in the notification area.
I have managed to make them a bit smaller ( http://askubuntu.com/questions/69576/ho … ssic-panel ), but I'd like to fix the spacing too.
This is how they look on my PC: http://i.imgur.com/lVldy.png
The space is not even equally distributed.
I could use some help.
Thanks.

Bringing this up.
I'd like to use Gnome in FallBack mode, but because of this, I can't, it's annoying.
If somebody knows how to fix this, please share.

  • [solved] Amarok 2.3.1 - missing notification area icon

    Using Gnome 2.30.0, KDE 4.4.3
    For the latest amarok-git (2.3.1-git) and now the official community package (2.3.1) in the panel notification area the amarok tray icon displays as a page with a blue question mark on it, instead of the proper round 'wolf' icon.
    I would think this may be the fault of Gnome, except the icon is restored when reverting back to amarok 2.3.0. The icon properly displays when using running a KDE session.
    Reproducible: Always
    Steps to Reproduce:
    Install amarok 2.3.1 under Arch, and open amarok under Gnome desktop environment. Notification area icon displays incorrectly as above.
    Thoughts?? Anyone else affected by this??

  • Notification area icons appearing as windows

    I'm having a problem where my gnome notification area icons appear as (small) windows instead of as icons in the notification area in the panel. I've tried moving the notification area, and removing and readding it, but nothing seems to work. Anyone know how to fix this?
    Screenshot of problem (the notification area is there to the right of System):

    No I definitely haven't added any panels. This didn't work with a completely default gnome install, and the only panel thing I changed was moving the notification area towards the system menu to see if it made a difference (which it didn't).

  • Can't get rid of Nvidia notification area icon

    Hi All,
    Suddenly, out of nowhere, the Nvidia notification are icon keeps appearing and I cannot get rid of it permanently for love nor money!
    If I deselect it by unticking the option in both the notification area icon and in the main Nvidia control panel... it just pops again when I close my laptop and reopen it.
    Driving me crazy... anyone got any ideas?
    Many Thanks

    sometimes making those changes permanent requires a restart.

  • Gnome Shell notification area icon problem

    Hello everybody,
    I am using Arch Linux with gnome-shell. I've installed different themes and everything went fine. However, one day
    my notification area for Empathy and Skype had exactly the same icons as Dropbox. You can see it in the attached image.
    Is there any way to sort this problem out?
    Thank you

    you would have to wonder how this could be a driver issue.... Incredibly it is... affecting only  x86_64 bits on newer nvidia drivers.
    Had to post this as I had the problem and my first search got this thread. First answer wasnt useful appart from telling you to search more (ironic when u get there from a search engine ) so I'll make the job easier in case more people stumble upon this thread.
    As of now there isnt no known fix. wait for new nvidia driver... switch to nouveau are basically the 2 options

  • HOW TO ADD SNABASE TO SHOW NOTIFICATION AREA ICONS

    HELLO
    I HAVE a CLIENT COMPUTER WINDOWS 7 with his 2010
    I SET UP THE SNABASE SETTING
    THE SERVICES IS RUNNING
    BUT IN THE OLD VERSION I SEE THE ICON OF SNABASE IN THE TRAY NEAR THE CLOCK
    now IN WINDOWS 7 I DO NOT SEE THE ICON IN THE notification area 

    The icon only shows up in the notification tray when SnaBase is configured to run as an application. The default setting for a HIS client is for SnaBase to run as a Windows service. If you go back to the HIS Configuration Tool and change SnaBase to run as
    an application, you will get the icon. Once you are in the Configuration Tool, go to common settings and then click the Advanced button. In the Advanced settings, you see the option to run as an application.
    Thanks...

  • Notification area icon is jagged and aliased (Windows 7)

    As you can see the notification bar icon for iTunes looks like something out of the 90s.

    That you have encountered this in other apps suggests a flaw in a library common to those apps and to Spotify or some particular tool that was used to build them.  I was able to replicate it on three different Win7 machines with two different CPU and graphics configurations. I couldn’t replicate it on a Windows 10 upgrade of one of those but I regard that machine as experimental until other apps more critical to me have been confirmed or made compatible with Windows 10.  Windows 7 will be my workhorse for some time, so the best workaround for me is to accept the “close button should minimize Spotify” setting and the risk of leaving it active in the notification area while streaming to no one. The alternative workaround is to refresh the non-Aero desktop after closing it. It’s a second click either way.

  • ? Best way to remove the notification area "Safely Remove" icon?

    I have a new T500 running Vista64.  I've been able to customize it mostly to my liking.  But I still have a notification area icon called "Safely Remove Hardware."  When I click on it a window pops up allowing me to "safely remove" the Ma*shi*ta DVD drive.  I will never remove this hardware.
    There are pretty clear methods that disable this icon and seemingly work perfectly for nVidia installations of serial ATA drives, but this T500/Vista64 setup doesn't have those drivers or the registry key that is modified.  I am aware that I can customize the notification area to "hide inactive icons" (via Taskbar properties) but there is only this one icon and it does not serve a purpose.  I am certain that there is a benign way to remove the icon that does not involve other software (like RemoveSRHI) and only removes the icon as it pertains to the "removable" Ma*shi*ta DVD drive.  Any temporary hardware, like a flash drive, that needs this will still display the icon.  The nVidia setups simply add a registry fix to HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvata by adding a DWord "DisableRemovable." I've read from quite a few successful users of this registry fix and there doesn't seem to be a downside.
    Does someone that knows a lot more about these drivers know if the DisableRemovable DWord can be added to a different key that's in my setup so the icon isn't displayed?  I'm guessing there are thousands of T500 users that would thank you!    Many Thanks,  Ben

    I remember having this happen on my Toshiba, and since I never safely removed anything, I hid it.
    Since you're still wanting to use it to remove USB drives, etc. I found a dandy program, it allows you to hide devices you don't want to stop. I've never used it, but the domain said it all for me: http://www.safelyremove.com/
    Hope it works for you, it did for someone else in a forum I visted via some Googling.

  • [SOLVED] Xfce4 notification area & gnome icons

    I have in notification area loaded gnome icons for sound and bluetooth and it's look like that:
    http://tinypic.com/r/2nvwab4/6
    I tried change the icon style in gnome-tweak-tool reload X several times but I'm still seeing ugly black icons and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Have any of you same problem? Or even better solution for it?

    When I switched from gnome to xfce, I replaced the sound menu with volumeicon and pavucontrol. As for bluetooth, I use bluemon now.

  • Huge gap between icons in menu bar

    Lately the menu bar will randomly throw in a huge gap between icons. Initially I thought it was a specific app, but now it's happening with all sorts of random icons there...definitely not the same icon each time.
    The icons you see on the left are the ones I launched after the gap appeared.
    Restarting my machine seems to be the only solution to removing the gap.

    Message was edited by: Josh Pigford

    I've tried trashing the prefs for this and have the icons down to just the Apple ones. Then, as I slowly add other menu bar items, they'll start adding the gap directly next to the Apple items.
    http://share.shpigford.com/images/menubar-20090507-074520.png
    But the thing is, it doesn't matter which items are on the left. Different ones can be next to the gap and it still is there.
    Restarting or logging out/in so far has been the only fix (albeit, temporary).

  • [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).

  • How can I shrink the spacing between the icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

    Hello everyone!
    I would like to open up some space in my bookmarks toolbar (also on the navigation toolbar if I can) by reducing the spacing between the icons. Is there any way to do this without the need of some third party program? If not, which one should I download?
    Curious thing is that a few days ago I did not have this problem at all, all my bookmarks were visible in the toolbar regularly, neat and tight. Now there is that boring guillemet sitting there at the corner...
    And this is the line where I thank you quite a bit for your interest towards my problem. So thank you very much:)

  • Gnome notification area (Solved)

    So i've been browsing the ubuntuforums since lucid was released and noticed that they all have nice looking icons in the notification area. They're unified icons, which i can't seem to get in gnome in arch.
    Here's a screenshot to show what i'm talking about:
    http://i.imgur.com/9WG48.jpg
    It doesn't seem to be just the lucid icon theme which achieves this, as that screenshot is using elementary icons. I've searched the AUR and can't find any modded notification area...
    Anybody got an idea how Arch can have this look?
    BTW i'm not talking about the OSD, i already have that..

  • Premier Elements 11 icons near the notification area.

    Premier Elements 11 puts red icons on the taskbar near the notification area. What are these and why are they not removed when the application is closed? The only way they "go away" is to restart the computer.

    I wish that I could offer some help, but have not observed any icons being added. It might be something that I felt was common behavior, and did not pay close attention to it/them, or maybe something that I have just never seen.
    Perhaps others will recognize those icons, from the description, and be of more help.
    One question:
    They apparently relate to something that was in my project; an adjustment to a video clip perhaps. If I right click on one of the icons a menu pops up.
    When you clicked on those icons, and got a pop-up menu, what did that menu contain? That might be helpful in others recognizing what the icons relate to.
    Good luck,
