Application indicator documentation is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators There's a fallback there so that if libappindicator isn't running your app can just use the notification area. > PS: I would love it if you published some guidelines about how to port > apps to Unity. Maybe these exist? I haven't looked around too hard. http://developer.ubuntu.com is finally starting to come together, we're hoping this will be the one stop shop for upstream app developers. http://developer.ubuntu.com/api/ is probably the most interesting to you. We also have a contact us page for any application developer that needs a direct line to an engineer if they need help: http://unity.ubuntu.com/contact-us/ -- Jorge Castro Canonical Ltd. http://twitter.com/castrojo Help fix Unity Bitesize Bugs: http://goo.gl/i1WA1 -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
