[SOLVED] KDE 4.5.2: lost icons of Pidgin, Skype... from System tray

Plasma crashed today and I lost, so called, "Default panel". After restart, I manually added panel, added System tray widget on it but System tray is no more displaying icons of non KDE applications such Pidgin, Skype and DeaDBeeF. Tried to change icon theme, played with icons folder mentioned in topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103689 but so far no luck. There are not even blank spaces instead of icons. If I add System tray widget to the desktop, it also don't have those icons on it and it have blank spaces instead, say, KNotes and Klipper.
Any help is appreciated.

File ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc was corrupted. I backed up it, deleted, restarted KDE, new file is created. Need to tweak desktop again but icons are shown correctly.

  • 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?

    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".

  • 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. 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.

  • [SOLVED]KDE does not remember window state, restoring from System Tray

    Hi,
    I'm facing a problem with some KDE applications that dock in the system tray, like Amarok and Konversation. I like to keep these apps maximized. But when I restore them from the system tray, they always revert back to their original, unmaximized size. Is there any workaround or fix for this?
    Using KDE 4.3.4-2 (not KDEmod)
    Thanks.

    Funny thing happened. I tried out your suggestion for my Firefox window, which would always start in an un-maximized state. It worked perfectly. Then I opened up Konversation and Amarok, and found that they properly remember the window state now!
    Thanks for the help.

  • Adobe Tracker icon can't be removed from system tray??

    I've been using Adobe Acrobat to created PDFs and do a shared review on a server. It's been great. Today someone asked me how to get rid of the Tracker icon that showed up in their system tray. It doesn't go away! I tried turning off notifications and hiding the icon, but it comes back after restarting. Any ideas?? I don't want people to stop reviewing my material because they don't want this Tracker to show up on their machines.

    I am not sure where the startup is located, in the registry or one of the startup files. You can try to find out by going to START>Run>msconfig. You can search for where the file is being setup for starting.

  • Skype: no system-tray icon with Arch (+ xfce)

    When I close Skype (the one and only skype window), skype is still running in the background. When I run Zenwalk with xfce, there is a skype icon as part of the taskbar, which indicates that skype is still running in the background. This icon does not pop up in Arch and xfce.
    Here in the forum rdoggsv gave a hint to run "killall skype". However I would prefer to have the system-tray icon (and the right-click to close skype). By the way: skype on debian has this icon as well (see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=14874). How can I get this xfce notification icon in Arch, as long as Skype is running?

    Are you sure you have system tray enabled on your xfce panel?  I don't use xfce, but skype shows up correctly in the tray using trayer...  I also remember it working correctly with xfce panel tray in the past so unless the latest version of xfce is buggy it should work without problems.

  • 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!

  • [SOLVED] Openbox/tint2 (or trayer) -- nothing in system tray

    Hi,
    Just decided to try Openbox and see what all the fuss was about. I really like it and am fairly confident I'll be ditching Xfce quite soon. I've had some oddities come up, though...
    - tint2 (and trayer, for that matter) show nothing at all (no icons, no nothing) in the system tray. I've started tint2 with this (stolen from elsewhere) just to try the tray:
    # SYSTRAYBAR
    systray_padding = 0 0 0
    systray_background_id = 0
    and trayer with this:
    trayer --expand true --widthtype request --edge top --align right --SetDockType false
    and nothing shows up. Is there some set of icons or package or communication that needs to be going on that isn't happening?
    Thanks for any suggestions. It's mostly usable, but it'd be nice to get these issues resolved.
    - Now solved (see update below): I really like the Still Dark II theme by Tawan but when I C-A-Left/Right to change desktops, none of the rectangle desktop icons in the pop-up pager thingy change colors. I just see four black rectangles with blue borders the color of the theme blue, but they don't show one solid one to indicate where you are. With other themes, this hasn't been a problem and I get one solid rectangle to indicate my current desktop position. For what it's worth, the same thing happens with xfzen-blue, too. What's might be the issue?
    ---( Update )---
    Tawan responded to an earlier message I sent and helped sort everything out. For those interested, if you have no solid color when switching desktops, find the ../theme-name/openbox-3/themerc and correct/add these lines:
    osd.hilight.bg: flat solid
    osd.hilight.bg.color: #1994d1
    This was exactly what I needed. Just replace the html hex color with what you want.

    Wow -- I shouldn't be allowed near a computer. Apparently you actually have to start something that shows up in the panel for... something to show up in the panel. I'm used to xfce where a battery monitor and wicd-client were always running from startup. Starting vlc was what did it for me. Seeing that darn cone show up was what made me commence slapping myself.

  • 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

  • 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

  • System Tray icon missing sometimes

    I have an HP printer 4100 series, Gateway computer, Vista.
    I've had two times when I booted up and the HP Printer system tray icon was not in the system tray.
    I will look at the Notification Area setup and one of the icons listed (under Past Items) is "Terminating Digital Imaging Monitor."
    However, I was still able to print normally.  If I reboot, the system tray icon will return.
    I've had the same printer/setup for over a year.  This never happened till today.  Normally the system tray icon will appear at startup.
    It may be one of Vista's quirks - I sometimes notice inconstent things about the system tray icons.
    Anyone know why this might happen?

    I am on the same os and having the same issue. I tried reloading java and found it did not help.
    Please advise.

  • 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 !!
