System tray notification

Hi all,
Is it possible to generate an alert which appears above the system tray icon, similar to how MSN messenger or Gmail Notifier alerts the user of new emails (a small popup appears for a few seconds, then vanishes)?
If so, please give me some link or source code ....
My jre version is 1.4.2._06
Thank you

Hide system tray notification after login via RD web access

Hi,
I have a question. Is there a way to set that the notification in system tray won't appear after login into RD web access? And related question. I recently rename server and in this notification still shows old one. "Your computer is connect to: {old
server name}" Is there way to change to at least the correct name of the server? I tried searching in registry but without luck. Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
What’s your server OS Version? There is one KB related to the issue which you are facing.
The issue might occurs when there are multiple unexpired cookies on the client computer. To work around this issue you can use “Let me Fix by myself” from below article.
The "Connected" icon does not appear in the notification area when you connect to a remote application by using Remote Desktop Web Access on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977507
In addition to change the name of RDS Server you can use following script.
Change published FQDN for Server 2012 or 2012 R2 RDS Deployment

[Update: Version 0.0.2 now available]Noteo - system tray notifications

After being frustrated with the lack of non-gnome-dependant system tray 'widgets' for things like email and battery monitoring, I decided to have a bash at creating my own, initially only to notify me of system updates, but I realised that I could use the same place to display other things.
Main changes: plugins can now be installed system wide as well as locally, meaning modules can be packaged in the AUR.
Configuration files are now in ~/.config/noteo/ which is much tidier.
Coming soon:
Module which replaces notification daemon - I just need to tidy up the code and package it.
Update: 0.0.2 now available
Version 0.0.2 is in the AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15952
some plugins are also in the AUR:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16032
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16033
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=16034
or can be downloaded from sourceforge
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … _id=268802
As you can see in the status bar, when a 'module' want to tell you something, it flashes an icon in the system tray. If there is only one module wanting your attention, it flashes for about 10 seconds, then just displays that icon.
When there is more than one module wanting your attention, it switches to a generic icon. Hovering over the icon will describe which modules are attempting to notify you
If there is only one module active, clicking on the icon will bring up that module's dialog, if there is more than one module active, you will be shown which modules are wanting your attention.
You can also usually bring up the module's dialog by right clicking on the icon and choosing the appropriate menu option:
New feature: module authors can add icons to the right click menu
Noteo by itself has almost no functionality - it acts as a framework into which modules can 'plug-in'. 'Modules' are simple to make, and I hope that some of you will write some/improve mine.
To configure the modules, edit the module configuration files which will be generated on first run and placed in ~/.config/noteo/
Hope this is of some use to someone.
For those wanting to make new 'modules', maybe take a look at the source to the GmailCheck module, which is hopefully quite self-explanatory.

New alerts do not appear on the screen. The 'windows' in the screenshot are what appears when you click on the icon and a module wants your attention. New alerts cause the icon in the tray to change to whatever that module specifies e.g. on low battery, the 'BatteryStatus' module shows your icon theme's battery-critical icon (flashing initially and then becoming static - if there is more that one module wanting your attention, a generic icon is then shown)
Edit: actually the battery module does display a dialog box when the battery is critical, asking the user whether they want to hibernate or not, however this can be turned off. Noteo itself does not display dialogs, the modules can if they so desire. In future releases I do plan to implement something like libnotify notifications which the user can choose to activate. Also I am coding a module for noteo which can replace notification daemon.

System Tray notification icon erratically appearin...

Sometimes, but not consistently, when I boot my Windows 7 Pro desktop, Skype (v7.1.0.105) appears in my system tray as a tiny green icon with a yellow checkmark. When someone IMs me, it shows a notification on that icon, and I can click on it to respond. Other times, also at boot, while it does show up in Task Manager, there is nothing in the system tray, and I have no way to ping someone else unless I click on the main Skype icon on the desktop to bring up the interface, where it takes up space on my taskbar. X'ing out closes it, although I know it's running because I can see it in the Task Manager but if someone want to ping me, I'm not sure if they can even see me unless I click on the desktop icon to load it. When I do that, it stays in my task bar, but I still can't see it in the system tray, despite having it set to show icon and notifications. Looking at that now, the config states I'm not signed in, but I am!
1) Why do I see that system tray icon sporadically? I'd prefer it be there all the time.
2) Even when it does show up, it is VERY easy to overlook, because it's so tiny that I frequently overlook it until hours later. Is there any way to make it do a pop-up instead?
What am I doing wrong? I only use Skype for simple IM.
TIA

[solved] No System Tray / Notification Area

Hi,
I alreaydy started a thread in the german forums but there were no helpfull responses so I'll try the internatinal one
I'm using OpenBox and tried using pypanel, fbpanel and xfce-panel (+xfce-systray) but in all these panel i never had system tray icons (these little icon from gaim for example) i also tried using some apps with alltray but i had the same problem. So is there anybody who can help me?
please
JoyFM

now it seems to work, i think it has something to do with dbus-launcher
so i updated my startscript like this:
exec dbus-launcher openbox
pypanel &
feh --bg-center /home/johannes/Bilder/Wallpapers/Arch.png
so the problem seems solved

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.

NB200 - Notifications in system tray area

Every few seconds I get an annoying pop-up notification in the system tray area that informs me of 'Blocked Events' These are all IPv4 TCP or UDP events. I'd really like to turn off these notifications but despite extensive internet searching I can't find out how to do this. I've tried the Action Centre and tried the obvious Firewall settings but nothing will stop them. I find them intensely annoying.
I have a NB200-12W running Windows 7 Home Prmium (a recent upgrade from Windows 7 Starter Edition). - the issue occurs under both versions. initially I used the installed McAfee security suite but uninstalled that and I'm using F-secure 2009 Internet Security suite for which I have a currently valid license.
The system is wirelessly connected to my BT Home hub router and is connected via the HomeGroup to two PCs. The other two computers are connected via ethernet cables to the router and both run on Windows 7 Home Premium with Avira internet security. I don't get the pop-ups on these machines.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
AE

What program is generating the alerts - are you sure its f-secure or could it be the widows firewall or mcafee? I don't know anything about f-secure (other than I couldn't find a 2009 manual on their web site) but I would suggest that it will keep a log of events and that when you get close to the "option" that displays (and I would expect clears) it you will also find an option about displaying the event.
Re my comment about what program is generating it - are you happy that you have removed all traces of mcafee? Have you run msconfig and looked at the services and startup tabs for any trace? Also look in task manager for any traces : in the services tab click on description to sort and look for mcafee starting the description similar in the processes but I think you would only ever have had 1 mcafee entry.
I think this should have been the first para. Have you created/amended any firewall rules? The log file should give the ip address of the source event and is that in the range of ip addresses of your home network? and since you are bt internet customer do you have a bt vision pvr and is that the source?

Gnome 3: Move Insync Notification to System Tray

In Gnome, the Insync indicator appears in the notifaction bar. It not only looks very out of place in the notification bar, it is difficult to use there. Is there a way for me to move it to the system tray?

If all you need is to make the frame not visible in the taskbar as well than why don't you activate the hide() method? cature the minimize event and activate the frame.hide(); method. And in the system tray make the frame visible by frame.show();

AIR System Tray Icon - does it support notifications?

I want to add a system tray icon when my application loads and have balloon notifications appear when something happens, i.e. the application is minimized and a new message has been received. Does AIR support this functionality?

E-Mail Notification in System Tray

Hey,
I use xmonad with xmobar and trayer as my desktop environment - mostly working with terminals and CLI apps.
For E-Mails I use mutt with offlineimap, run every 20min from a cronjob.
Now what is a good solution to get a notification icon into my system tray when there's new mail?
I read something about biff, others suggest using conky.
I don't really know how to do it. Please point me to the right way...
Something clean and simple.

hddnhrst wrote:Thanks. How does offlineimap-notify work?
What exactly do you want to know? I mean, you can look at the man page (also on bitbucket) or the source. Basically it decorates some of offlineimap's classes (injects some code) so that offlineimap will call a notification function (provided by offlineimap-notify) when an account finishes syncing. Then it runs offlineimap (it's just a wrapper).

[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!

Move Java Frame into Windows taskbar notification area (system tray)?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has written a service-like application in Java running (and appearing) in the Windows "taskbar notification area", instead of running in the convential Windows taskbar.
I'm able to add an icon to the taskbar notification area (frequently errorneous called as the 'system tray') by using some native code that uses win32 Shell_NotifyIcon(.. , ..). However, I'm not able to 'couple' the window (i.e. the Java frame) to the new icon in the taskbar.
My icon is shown in the area AND the frame is shown as an application in the taskbar... I would like to 'remove' my Java application from the taskbar and place it 'as an icon' in the taskbar notification area.
Has anyone had experience with a similar problem?
Many thanks!
Jasper

If all you need is to make the frame not visible in the taskbar as well than why don't you activate the hide() method? cature the minimize event and activate the frame.hide(); method. And in the system tray make the frame visible by frame.show();

Bootcamp Control Panel Gone (Windows 7 System Tray)

After I installed Windows 7 64-bit using bootcamp, I had a system tray icon for the Bootcamp Control Panel. It recently disappeared and I can't get it to appear back. Without the control panel running properly, it looks like the volume keys, backlit keyboard, etc don't work anymore in Windows.
I have tried the things I could find in these forums and through online searches but nothing has worked:
1) Uninstall and then reinstall Bootcamp drivers and controll panel program using the OSX install DVD. I installed "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2010) (Windows 64 bit)"
2) Using msconfig to confirm Bootcamp was in the start up program list (it was already in the list so I unchecked it, rebooted, then checked it again, an rebooted)
3) Running Bootcamp.exe in Windows Vista compatibility mode
4) Checking my registry for the entry being there correctly (it was)
5) Customising the "notification area icons" to make bootcamp have the "Show icon and notifications" behavior.
None of these things worked. For additional information, I see that Bootcamp.exe is in the Windows task manager process list so it seems to be running.
How anyone found a solution to get the control panel system tray working again?
Thank you!

Hi Flying High,
Thanks for the response. The little gray square for the Boot Camp Manager has shown up in the notification area before (accessible through the little arrow on the right side of the screen), but the problem is that it doesn't show up anymore.
I just tried uninstalling Boot Camp and all the drivers, and then reinstalling it again from the DVD and using the "Boot Camp Update for MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2010 (Windows 64 bit)"...
The little gray square for the Boot Camp Manager showed up after the first reboot and the function keys worked (like volume control), but when I rebooted again, the notification manager didn't show up and none of the function keys work anymore. So back to square one.
Has anyone had this problem with the Boot Camp Manager showing up in the notification ares only after the initial installation but not after reboots?
Thank you!

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.

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.
