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..

Maybe there are some to your taste in this one:

Don't know which package holds the elemntary icons in ubuntu, artwork/gnome or something? you should be able to extract them from there
ubuntu-mono

[SOLVED] Gnome notification area has wrong background color

I'm using the Shiki-Brave theme on Gnome and all (yes, all) of the tray icons have the wrong background color. The color changes slighty if I select another Shiki theme, but is pretty close to the default gray. Strangely, I only have this issue on my desktop at home -- none of my other machines (two laptops and a desktop at work) exhibit the problem. I have ensured that the theme is exactly the same on all machines. Another oddity is that other themes (e.g. high contrast inverse) have the right background color!
The only thing I have managed to find via Google is a bug report against Gnome. Here is what I have tried:
* Removing and readding the applet to the panel.
* Blowing away all my settings (rm -rf .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .local) and setting things up again. To be sure I did not miss anything, I also tried creating a new user with a clean home. Still the same issue.
* Removing and reinstalling all of the gnome and gnome_extra groups. I even cleared the pacman cache to force a redownload.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss on what to try next.
Thanks!

I figured out the problem.
I have an NVIDIA card and I recently modified my X server to use Xinerama instead of TwinView. Xinerama was responsible for all this nastiness. Reverting to TwinView fixed the problem (and some other weird ones that started popping up).
Those of you with NVIDIA cards, avoid Xinerama!

Gnome notification area problem

Helloooo archaholics.
So, I have the notification applet in the gnome panel but apps like liferea, banshee etc, are putting the icons in a floating small metacity window instead. Like crazy style.
Can any kind folk tell me, is it a bug? is it a feature? is it a bit too hard to tell these days?
Cheers
gnome-2.14 including deps. Rest of system is [current].

how does .xinitrc look like ??? make it look like the below code (for gnome of course)
exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session

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).

[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.

[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??

[SOLVED] IceWM: "notification area" / taskbar / system tray

Hello!
I've recently moved from Gnome to IceWM. It all works nicely but there's a problem. In Gnome (and KDE and fluxbox and pypanel and ...) there was a "notification area" / taskbar / system tray where you could see "minimized to tray" programs, such as: Wicd, Deluge, Transmission, Emesene, etc... But in IceWM that doesn't exist. Well this is a pain in the *ss. I mean, I open deluge, minimize it and now I can't open its main window again.
Can some IceWM user help me?
Thanks, acmps

It should be all there in a default IceWM setup, esp. does IceWM hava a built-in system tray.
Mostly it depends on how you start IceWM. You need to execute icewm-session in your ~/.xinitrc, as e.g.
exec icewm-session
Or if you want to start IceWM manually, use
xinit /usr/bin/icewm-session
There should be a ~/.icewm folder. If not, create one and copy /usr/share/icewm/{keys,menu,preferences,toolbar,winoptions} there. These are well commented setup files which you can change to your needs with any text editor.
Thanks! I was used to start IceWM with "exec icewm" in xinitrc, but it seems like it's icewm-session. About the .icewm folder, I already have it. I'm going to try and start IceWM with icewm-session right away.
EDIT: It seems like I don't need to start icewm-session to get the tray, just icewm and icewmtray. Thanks!

[SOLVED] notification area vacant

so there is nothing in my notification area. No networkmanager, no sound , nothing at all. This is strange. I have reinstalled it restarted the computer and still its empty. Network manager luckily is still working because it has auto connected to my wireless network. please help. And i have already searched google and cant find any kind of fix.
Im using gnome btw....
Last edited by Dans564 (2011-04-17 21:05:24)

thanks a lot everybody. I seemed to have un-installed network-manager-applet when downgrading gnome 3 to gnome 2 and I never realized it. Also volume control isn't displayed through notification area as it is in linux mint (my last distro), but rather through a dedicated applet. So that was the confusion. After installing Network Manager Applet my notification area is once again populated.

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.

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

[SOLVED] Xfce4 panel, no notification area

I've just installed Fluxbox onto my Arch install and I desired a proper panel, because of the relatively few dependencies and lack of messing around I chose the xfce4-panel. However I can't seem to have a systray/notification area. If I attempt to add one to the panel I get the error
"There is already a notification area running on this screen."
Which there isn't, not to my knowledge anyway. After that box closes I get the message;
"Could not open "systray" module"
I've been looking around for a while to see if I can install said module, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

Hi Vinod,
Thanks for your reply. But this was working earlier. We also have our own mapper class for the customs things we did.
But i am not sure of the reason, suddenly this is not working after some SP20 releases.
What all the basics things we need to check this?
Send to Mail functionality working - this ensures email is going
Admin Notifications - This ensures the subscription is working.
Update Admin notifications - This ensures the notifications are sent when we update the subscriptions
like this, what all the things we need to check for the resources inside the folder?
Thanks,
Senthilkumar

A weird looking icon in notification area.

Hello friends,
I own a Blackberry 9300 and recently I have had this weird looking icon in my notification area. It looks like some sort of sundial (the clock replacement we used when we did not have clocks) with a red star and 1 written before it. Tried every app, message, etc. etc. but to no avail.
I would upload the picture (I have munched the screen using an app), were it not for my knowledge of how to upload pictures on forums.
If anyone has the slighest idea on this, please help!
Thank you.
