Implementing an ifconfig tray icon frontend?

Hi, all. Maybe the subject line sounds obscure, but I'll try to explain.
In the nearest time I'd like to give OpenBSD a try. Basically, I already did, but couldn't arrange a VPN connection to my ISP, so I'm waiting till I buy a router.
OpenBSD doesn't have any kind of GUI network connection manager (like nm, wicd or connman). So I thought - why not use the fact, that all the network connections routines are performed through ifconfig (even WPA/WPA2 management)? So I figured out that probably writing some kind of wrapper in shell could be possible even for a shell newbie like me. The question is, what would be a good way to do a dropdown menu (nm-like) for a WM? The one, that would show all the wifi networks (and all the actual interfaces), their signal strength, and allow the click&connect thing?
Probably, awesome has that kind of possibilities (with its immerse libraries with widgets, buttons, etc). However, OpenBSD doesn't have Awesome 3.x & co (only 2.x - maybe it's because the config syntax started bitching at that point) and I would like to use scrotwm. Is there any kind of toolbar that would make such a thing possible?

As far as I get the issue the system tray icon is not a matter of window manager.
For example gtk provides the functionality you need. PyGTK would be a convenient way to write such a programm and I think it would be more "straight-forward" than a shell-script with some wrapper or whatever for a system tray icon.
See http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/class-g … sicon.html for documentation about the aforementioned tray icon.
Furthermore a quick google query turned up http://code.google.com/p/python-ifconfig/
How does ifconfig handle WPA/WPA2? I thought that's wpa-supplicant's job.

  • Proper tray icon iconify/bring to front behavior

    Hi, I have a small but annoying problem with JDIC tray icons and JFrame. Maybe there's some really simple solution for this but I can't see it.
    My app has one JFrame and a TrayIcon for it. Currently, a click to tray icon iconifies the frame when it's visible, and a click to tray deiconifies the frame when it's iconified. Simple enough, but my problem comes when I try to make the behavior a little more user-friendly: when the frame is visible, a click to to tray should bring it to the front IF it's not the topmost window - and iconify only when it's the topmost window.
    The problem is, that when I click the tray icon - the JFrame loses it's focus and my code just always brings the frame on top.
    Here's my code (Workbench contains a JFrame):
    tray.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                        Workbench workbench = app.getWorkbench();
                        if (workbench.isIconified()) {
                             if (!workbench.isVisible()) {
                                  workbench.setVisible(true);
                             workbench.deiconify();
                             workbench.toFront();
                        } else {
    // here's the problem
                             if (workbench.isFocused()) {
                                  workbench.iconify();
                             } else {
                                  workbench.toFront();
              });I thought about somekind of timer hack, that would check the time since the frame lost focus and compare it to current time when I press the tray icon, but that's an ugly solution - and some users might hold the button down longer than others.
    Another would be to ask the topmost OS window with JNI (afaik. there is no such method in Java?)
    btw. I just tried how mIRC does this, and it seems to get stuck to the "toFront()-state" too, when I set some another window to an "always-on-top"-mode. So I guess it's not the most ideal solution to ask the OS for the topmost window - but that would still do it for me.
    Anyone have other ideas ?

    I am very interested in implementing just such a thing with my Java application. I am in the starting phases of this project and ran across your post in my search for info.
    How much do you already have implemented? I.E., can you display the icon but are just having trouble catching the events for when the icon is clicked? Or do you not even have the ability to display the icon yet? I have found the Windows documentation on the MSDN site for the shell function Shell_NotifyIcon(), which is what we want to use but I have not begun any attempts to use it yet.
    If you (or anyone else) have any info or have had any success at all with this yet, I would be very interested in hearing how it works. I'll be happy to share any info I find, when/if I get that far.
    Thanks,

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 Venator

    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

  • 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?

    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.

    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?

  • 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!

  • [SOLVED] on last reboot, two wicd-clients running + two tray icons?

    Hi,
    I've been using wicd forever and for the first time, I had two tray icons showing this morning. I used to use xfce but switched to openbox about a month ago and have been using an autostart.sh like so:
    $ cat .config/openbox/autostart.sh |tail
    #bg
    eval `cat ~/.fehbg` &
    #post-start operations
    (tint2) &
    (conky -c /etc/conky/conky.conf) &
    (conky -c /etc/conky/conky-top.conf) &
    (wicd-client) &
    This has been working fine, at least as far as I knew. Suddenly this morning when I started up X, I had two wireless icons in my tray. I found that two wicd-clients were running:
    $ ps ax |grep wicd
    3492 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/python2 -O /usr/share/wicd/daemon/wicd-daemon.py
    3500 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/python2 -O /usr/share/wicd/daemon/monitor.py
    3573 tty1 S 0:00 /usr/bin/python2 -O /usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py
    3578 tty1 S 0:00 /usr/bin/python2 -O /usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py
    3641 ? Ss 0:00 wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /var/lib/wicd/configurations/001b5311e850 -D wext
    This has never happened and I'm not sure why it would start all of the sudden like this. If I remove it from ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh, I only get one wicd-client. If I put it back, I get two. But I never used to get two even when it was in autostart.sh before (like as of any time before this morning), which is why this is so puzzling.
    I thought it might have been an upgrade, but I just reinstalled Arch completely on Saturday to do encryption and pacman.log shows that this is the only version of wicd that's been installed.
    I wondered if having wicd in /etc/rc.conf daemons was enough to start the client upon startx, but the Arch wiki on wicd implies that you should have wicd-client in autostart.sh or equivalent.
    Can anyone assist in diagnosing the problem? I guess I'd be looking for:
    1) validation that wicd in DAEMONS of /etc/rc.conf is sufficient to start the client
    2) some way to find out where both wicd-clients are being started from (if that's even possible); for example, autostart.sh-started apps might potentially be tied to my username, whereas if something's being started from the system side, perhaps the process is owned by root and we could reveal that somehow
    3) any other suggestions or comments
    Thanks.

    @skunktrader: Whoops... but won't that be redundant? I already know where one instance was coming from: autostart.sh. I want to know why the other one is starting, since no one seemed to think that wicd automatically launched wicd-client. Anyway, several reboots later, here's the full scoop:

    So, this is why I said that the test is a bit redundant. The real question still remains: why with no wicd in rc.conf and it commented in autostart.sh is wicd related stuff starting at all? I already know one instance is definitely occurring from autostart.sh, because when I commented it out, I only had one left. But if autostart.sh is supposed to be mandatory, where is the other one coming from? More so... without it in the daemons line, the behavior with gksu indicates that something, somewhere is trying to get wicd up and running. That is what I really don't get at all.
