#405 assigned enhancement

better native tray support for *nix

Reported by: Antoine Martin Owned by: Antoine Martin
Priority: minor Milestone: future
Component: client Version:
Keywords: linux Cc: onlyjob@…

Description

We already have native X11 code for dealing with the system tray server side (see xpra/x11/gtk_x11/tray.py), but at the moment only win32 has native tray support (see xpra/platform/win32/win32_tray.py).

The gtk.StatusIcon we use is too limited:

  • does not let us catch hover events,
  • does not let us catch individual clicks (only "activate" and "popup" events)

It shouldn't be too hard to do better than that. Either with native X11 code or with another/better tookit (see #388 for Qt)

Status: new → assigned
Summary: better native tray support for Linux → better native tray support for *nix

win32 has this already, it would be a shame if *nix did not!


Let's try not to undo #479 when we do it.
