"system tray icons" as such and the way they are implemented by client applications are 1. buggy (restart e and wtach most dissapear as apps simply don't cope having a new system tray start up and an old one go away), 2. limit you to square boxes per icon where the background is a solid color. 3. that solid color is either whatever gtk wants as its bg color OR for qt/kde apps it "inherits" the bg from parent - since e's window have no bg color (they paint their own contents) this falls over in a stinking heap and doesn't work. 4. they expect to have mouse events work on them and thus won't work with canvases, swallowing or layering. they are literal sub-windows. basically - forget it. tray icons are a royal mess. > On Mon, 2006-09-18 at 23:59 +0900, Carsten Haitzler wrote:> On Mon, 18 Sep > 2006 14:41:02 +0100 João Vale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> babbled:> > > Hi everyone.> > > > > I wanted to take a look at the itray module's code.
