Re: [Lazarus] Patch for TTrayIcon on Ubuntu's Unity

In fact I checked your code and it only tries to load libappindicator if XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is Unity. With that variable set I can see the tray icon (note that its normal value is KDE). That's good then. I added 'KDE' to the allowed desktops when libappindicator is present with the Gtk2 toolkit.

I can think of a version that supports Right-To-Left, out of the box. Not necessarily Laz. 2 though :) Right now FlipChildren() must be used. It works, but not on all the controls. For instance it does not work over the DateTimePicker very well, to my knowledge/experience, I would say. Probably
