[Solved] Change tray icons in tint2?

Is it possible? I have volwheel and wicd-client down there full-time and they aren't the best looking icons around.

Yeah, I found the wicd icons at /usr/share/pixmaps/wicd, and the volwheel icons at /usr/share/volwheel. Replace the old wicd icons with the ones you want, and add the folder of new volwheel icons to the volwheel folder and switch to them in preferences.

[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":

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.

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

[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:
| wicd in /etc/rc.conf deamons: no
| wicd-client in ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh: no
`---
Note: In previous reboots, I get asked by gksu to allow wicd to access my network cards. This past time, I got a message from gksu saying that wicd had been granted access to my network cards.

=====================
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.

[SOLVED] Gnote not loading in tint2 tray

After a recent update, gnote no longer loads as an icon in the tint2 tray. It does, however, load the 'search all notes' dialog (thats what executing 'gnote' does now, instead of loading a tray icon..)

I can't find the referenced 'manual faq' though, so I have no idea how to restore the old behaviour.
Its well hidden, the solution is to execute:
gsettings set org.gnome.gnote use-status-icon true
as root.
Hope they put this as an option, if not many people will search for an alternative, not everybody reads the code.

Just to clarify, you got this from gnote's source?
Also, I ran that as my user, not root, and it seems to work .

[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.

[SOLVED] change icons in thunar (XFCE)

Hello all,
Me again. Is there a way to change the icon colors in Thunar? I copied the gnome-wine, gnome-wise, etc. from my Xubuntu test box and copied them to /usr/share/icons. I can see they show up under System Settings, Appearance/Icons. I can even select them, but only the icons on the desktop change colors (call me crazy, but I like the green folder icons). However, the icons in thunar are still the grayish brown standard icons.
Is there a way to have the thunar icons use the XFCE system icons?
--nixIT
Last edited by nixIT (2011-06-03 16:17:00)

in xfce4 (4.8.0.3, the version I am using in ubuntu):
You can do this to chang the icons in thunar and through the xfce desktop
1) Click the main menu (Xfce menu at the bottom-left of the screen)
2) Click Settings -> Appearance
On Appearance dialog:
1) Click Icons tab (or press alt+i)
2) if you have icon themes installed you can selec them (such as Tango)
-- this will change iconds for the entire desktop:
Thunar, Xfce menu, etc
EDIT: I now realize that this was about changing icon colors and the above was already noted in the first post
.. any way it helped me change my icon theme to Tango...thanks

[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).

[Solved] I can't change folder icons in my home folder (XFCE)

Just in case some user have disabled signatures:
XFCE 4.10
Thunar
AwOken icons
Hello,
I am currently using the AwOken icon set, which I downloaded on deviantart.com.
So... I'd like the typical folders
Pictures
Videos
Music
Documents
etc.
to use the corresponding icons from, well, acutally any icon set I am using. But when I right-click on any folder, I can't change the Icon (second tab). Am I doing it wrong or is that a bug?
edit
So I tested it with a lot of other default XFCE themes and themes from the AUR (Greybird, Albatross and so forth). I can't change any icon. That's too bad, I have no clue whatsoever what the problem is, I was hoping I could change the bookmarks' icons in Thunar's sidebar as well.

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!

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.

Openbox + trayer = teeny tiny tray icons

I have Debian on this particular laptop (my other laptop is an arch box). The arch laptop has a lower resolution screen, so this particular issue isn't one. Anyway, I run Openbox on both with trayer and tint2. Also, the Debian laptop uses most of the config files from the arch setup so as far as openbox is concerned, there aren't too many debian specific changes.
My problem is that no matter how big I make trayer height-wise, the tray icons are tiny. I can't seem to find a way to make them bigger. I have liferea running, and the tray icon is supposed to tell me how many new articles there are. Unfortunately, the number displays so small that I can't read it. It's like 2 or three pt!
I have changed the height value in trayer, which gives me a big grey bar with tiny icons. Is there a way to enlarge the icons so they useful?
Thanks
JTS

@djszapi: Yes. Thank you. I actually did try [man trayer] first and there is nothing about icon size. Even putting heighttype to request does nothing because the icons are simply too small. Thanks for the suggestion though.
@bandito: I am considering it, but I have been quite satisfied with trayer up until this high resolution monitor has rendered the icons too small for my tired eyes. Still, a tray is useless if you can't see whats in it, so it looks like tint2's tray will be activated after all!
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.

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
