Gvolicon - a lightweight volume icon in your system tray

Hello,
Some days ago whilst on vacation, I whipped up this lightweight and very simple volume icon. As some of you might have seen in my previous topic, this project is based on Fogobogo's gtk-vol and as such most of the features are the same:
Easily change volume levels by scrolling on the icon
Easily mute and restore the volume by clicking on the icon
No right-click menu
Also see Gvolicon's help output:
-v, --version Display version and exit
-d, --device Device to use
-m, --mixer Mixer to use
-u, --update-interval Set update interval in seconds
-s, --volume-step Set volume step to increase or decrease the volume with
-i, --symbolic-icons Use symbolic icons
You can get Gvolicon in the AUR or you can get the code directly from GitHub.

Did you somehow uncheck the "Load volume Icon At Startup" in controls?Having this checked the Creative Volume Panel will always startup in the system tray. Or, Did you try executing the program in the desktop program group "Creative>Sound Blaster X-Fi>Creative Volume Panel" If all these things don't work, try to do a repair in the "Control Panel>Programs and Features>Sound Blaster X-Fi"

Updated my K450e to Windows 10, Realtek Audio Manager icon missing from system tray

When my K450e was using Windows 8 and 8.1, there was a red Realtek AudioHD Manager icon in my system tray. Now that I've updated the K450e to Windows 10, there is no Realtek Audio Manager icon in my system tray (or control panel) anymore. I've tried installing the Realtek Audio software both from the Lenovo download site for Windows 10, and also from the Realtek site. This has not helped. On the up side, the computer's audio is working fine *smile*. Any ideas what I might try to get the Realtek AudioHD manager icon back in the system tray for Windows 10? Thanks!

Macaby there are two separate components of Boot Camp. First is Assistant which runs on the Mac side of things from OS X. It creates/deletes the Windows partition which is necessary to install Windows. Next the Boot Camp Panel software which is installed once you have successfully installed and are running Windows. It allows tweaking of the Apple hardware from within Windows. It is installed using the OS X disc and does not jeopardize your installed Windows OS in any way. This disc also contains the hardware driver necessary to optimize the hardware in Windows. In my experience this disc has never started via autorun so you will most likely have to locate the Boot Camp folder and run the setup.exe file manually.
Don't know how much your wife uses Windows but if it's running well enough then you may want to leave it alone. Check device manager in Windows for any red or yellow punctuation marks. This will indicate a potential driver issue in Windows. Also check the Windows Experience Index for performance issues. A 1 anywhere indicates a driver issue. If you have no driver issues and Windows is running well enough you may want to leave it at that.

Miss the XP network icon in the system tray? Good news!

I don't know about you but since switching to Windows 7, I really miss not being able to monitor network traffic in the system tray? In fact, the feature first went MIA in Vista.
Well good news! I came across this little gem today and thought others might be interested in it. Igor Tolmachev of itsamples.com has developed a nifty Network Activity Indicator, which adds the Windows XP-style Network connection icon to the system tray.
You can follow the link from the original article at BlogsDNA to download the app.
Sure is nice seeing those familiar blinking blue icon lights on my new T400 running Windows7!

Right, but the original question was not, "do you think a mute status indicator on the screen would be useful". The question was whether there would be some way to implement one.
In any case, what you seem to be overlooking is that there would be a lot of people who MIGHT need to be reminded of the mute status, PASSIVELY. Its a different cognitive operation, where the device takes the lead and reminds ME of its status, on-screen, (just as I look at it for other status indications, such as new email in inbox).. without me having to remember to think of the mute status question unprompted. I find it totally illogical that Apple left this out. It could be in the bar at the top with the other status indicators SO EASILY.

X,Y position of your system tray icon

Hi
In my app i have a functionality by which i can minimize my desktop app to systray..On minimizing my app, an icon is created in the system tray..now is this possible for me to get the x,y position of that icon located in the system tray..i want to display notification pop up above it..with a pointer pointing the system tray icon.
Thanks

Just try this...
Once you get proper character's index, use the following code,
myTxtFld.getCharBoundaries(index); // this will return a rectangle.
myTxtFld.getCharBoundaries(index).x; // ===========> will provide x coordinate and
myTxtFld.getCharBoundaries(index).y; // ===========> will provide y coordinate.
Good luck !!

Bootcamp Icon missing from system tray...

On the 1st computer (iMac) that I installed BootCamp with Win 7, I have an icon in the lower left system tray for changing the booting choice.
Today I installed BootCamp on my wife's new Mac Mini and the icon is missing from the system tray. While it was about 6 weeks ago that I put BootCamp on my iMac, I don't remember doing anything that cause the Windows system tray to display the boot choice icon for BootCamp/Win 7.
Anyone have an idea about how I can get that icon to appear on the Mac Mini.
Both systems are running Snow Leopard with the latest software.

Macaby there are two separate components of Boot Camp. First is Assistant which runs on the Mac side of things from OS X. It creates/deletes the Windows partition which is necessary to install Windows. Next the Boot Camp Panel software which is installed once you have successfully installed and are running Windows.

T430s Error in how the Power Manager icon displays in system tray at bottom of screen

The icon for the Power Manager in the Windows system tray in the bottom right area of the screen is cut off. It's basically displaying itself too low on the system bar. Please see picture attached:
Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried updating to the latest version of Power Manager (v 6.40) but that didn't help. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.
Thanks.

Hi, wesaturn
Have you tried updating all other driver updates available for your system, such as the BIOS and video drivers? They can all be found here if not.
Also, how long has this been occurring? And has it ever displayed properly?
Best,
Adam

How to delete an update icon in the system tray?

I have an icon for an update to Bibg Bar, which I don't want and will only install into IE, which I don't have.
How do I get rid of it?

Thank you so much for the prompt reply.
I have flushed the system restore points as sugested. But running the same SPYWARE DOCTOR program to scan the computer is appearing to be a tedious task! I have recieved blue screen errors for three consecutive times mid-way during the full system scans. The latest one being, "driver caused error in memory pool destined for disk use", exactly which I could not read, the system restarted immediately.
history of the machine:
norton anitvirus 2005 crashed during an update around the 20th march,2011. the live update said that the virus definitions were corrupted. I used norton removal tool. I downloaded the Norton antivirus2011 from its website. Initially it worked well but later it also crashed. Looking in the hardware section for a faulty driver, it highlighted two such drivers:
BHDrvx86 and Symantec iron Driver. After removing Symantec products completely , these drivers vanished!
I have tried MS essentials and ENod32 by d/l the trial version from their websites. however, the same result.
Using the PC Doctor tool through the service partition showed error in the memory and the dvdwriter. However, the drive reads the HP printer s/w but does not read the original music CDs!!
I had also updated my Service partition by d/l the R&R new version in january. The computer did not behave as erratically before doing this. Is it possible that a virus was introduced into the service partition and hence the memory is giving me errors?
please help me out.!

How do I get the speaker icon to STAY in my system tray?

How do I get the speaker icon to STAY in my system tray? Every time I mute the speakers, the icon disappears from my system tray. I have a very difficult time getting it back, and I can never remember how I do it. Can someone give me some helpful, easy to remember steps on how to KEEP the sound/volume icon in my system tray? Thanks.

I did what you said. There is not a "system icons to always show". What it does say is "turn system icons on or off". The one for the sound icon is greyed out and CANNOT be clicked on. This happens every time I mute the speakers.
So, how do I get it back?
Candy
In the menu that said "turn system icons on or off", try clicking on the blue writing on the bottom left of that menu that says "restore default icon behaviors".

No Volume in system tray, master volume disabled, no audio drivers - Dv6500 model

Hi,
OS- win xp sp2(downgrade from vista to xp )
Model: dv 6500
I need serious help with my audio drivers. To start off there is no volume icon in my system tray, so I tried to enable it through control panel but before I try to enable it, the master volume is already greyed out so there is no way i can enable it or get it on system tray nor can i change the volume, mixer setting or just any setting in sound volume and devices dialog box.
Initially in teh properties tab of sound and devices the message was all drivers are working fine however still I could not listen any voice from any application. I tried to reintall the old audio driver(sp34200) and new one's like sp33310 still there is no audio..
tried to start audio application in services but still no result, did a virus check but it shown no virus attack. I have given up , plz help me out . I am exhausted i guess I ahve tried each and everything available on net. plz plz help someone.

I can't help, other than to say this happened to me today with the same hardware, only with GarageBand.
I recorded bass tracks this morning -- no problem. This afternoon, though, every time I plugged in the Tascam GarageBand went silent, even though the system input shows sound coming in.

Search protect icon in system tray (still there after deleting)

Hello i got infected with search protect (conduit). In my firefox, IE and Chrome browser my startpage got changed to mystartsearch or something like that.
I changed the startpages and deleted installed programs by the normal windows add and remove programmes tool in the configuration screen. I ran kaspersky.
Everything was cleaned it seemed besides 2 things. When i clicked new tab in firefox the mystartsearch page started in that tab. I solved this bij intalling a firefox tab add on. Than i changed the page that had to open when opening a new tab.
Another problem is a blue e icon in my system tray that i can't get away. It is started when my computer starts up. I can't click it, nothing happens. When i move with my mouse over it, "search protect, click to configure" is shown.
I disabeld programs in my startup configuration. I searched fot this program, but i can 't find anything than seems to be related to search protect. I searched for removal assistance on the internet but i can only find A to Z procedures, which are useless. The program already seems to be deleted from my computer but the icon keeps starting up on my computer.
Can somebody help? Do i have to reinstall search protect to delete it properly? And where can i find a "harmless" version of this program? It is a bit sick to reinstall an infected programm to redelete it. I prefer other solutions, but that icon on startup is irritating me and i wonder if it is still harming my computer.

You already uninstalled Search Protect from the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program? Could you check again for anything strange. After the list loads, I suggest clicking the "Installed on" column heading to group items by install date. This can help surface innocently named bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Regarding the new tab page, you shouldn't need an add-on to regain control.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Some gotchas:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may still have SearchProtect on your system.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your other extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
"3-bar" Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to MyStart:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

Getting System tray icons in Java

I have developed a swing application and want to control the number of instances running of my own Java class. Is there a simple way how I can do the task?
Also, i am putting my application in the System tray so, can i get a list of icon for all applications in the system tray? (may be i can control multiple instance using this simple technique)

actually the problem is that it is giving null because the api says that it will give the details for the icons by
'this' application. what i want is all the icons, then, i will decide whether to launch or exit in the succeeding instances of my class.Are you saying that you want to see all of the "icons" in the system tray so that you can iterate over them to see if your icon is one of them and - if it is - not launch your application?
You're not going to want to do it that way. The "how do I ensure that my program launches only once" problem has been discussed on these forums many times.
Some options include:
bind a socket to a not-often-used-port such as 9999 or 9998 or something like that. Two sockets cannot bind to the same port, so that would let you know that you're already running.
Check for the existence of a file. When you launch your application, if the file exists, it's already running. Delete the file when your program terminates. This technique is pretty common on *NIX systems.

Vista Network Icon in System Tray Disappeared

I'm running Vista on my MacBook and a few weeks ago, I noticed that my networking icon that displays when i'm connected via LAN or wireless disappeared. I have no idea how to get it back. There used to be a way in XP that I know of but I'm lost here. Anyone got any ideas?

*Right Click* on an empty portion of your taskbar.
Choose Properties on the window that appears.
Choose the *Notification Area* tab.
Look below for *System Icons* section and ensure that there is a check mark next to Network.
This will show the network/Lan/Wireless icon in the system tray.

Accessing the system tray icon

I've been programming a desktop application with ruby/tk. Using the win32api gem, I've managed to hide and set my program icon to work in the system tray. The icon is displayed succesfully and the texttip works etc.
Now I'd like for the app window to maximize when the tray icon is clicked, or show a menu, but I have no idea how to reference this icon. I used the win32api gem to a) minimize (or hide) the current window via ShowWindow() and b) to create an icon in the
system tray with Shell_NotifyIconA().
Now I want to access the window again via the icon. How can this be achieved?

Hello simon,
According to your description, it seems that this issue seems to be related with Rube development with win32api, for this, I think the Ruby forum is proper for 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
Hope this helps.
