New Unix Systray plugin

[peterz]

My simple plan would be:

* Left click the icon to show/hide window.
* Right-click menu:

Code: Select all

Restore
-----------------------------
Flash on (submenu)
    ./ Channel Message
    ./ Highlighted Message
    ./ Private Message
    ./ File Offer
    ./ Disconnect
Set Away (on all servers)
-----------------------------
Exit XChat


./ = Check box item.

Is someone willing to draw some icons for the above events? Preferably the xchat logo with the event overlayed ontop.

This plan looks just perfect, maybe just add a flash on notice or invite checkbox. I'd help with the artwork but unfortunately I have no vocation for graphics.

What's wrong with the blight.tk systray plugin?

[peterz]

It's past its used by date, buggy and non-user friendly by today's standards.
Even I had a hard time getting it to work, I'm no newbie

It's going ahead, built-in even. I've added a command so scripts/plugins can do more complex things with the systray icon:

Code: Select all

 Usage:
 TRAY -f <timeout> <file1> [<file2>] Flash tray between two icons.
 TRAY -f <filename>                  Set tray to a fixed icon.
 TRAY -i <number>                    Flash tray with an internal icon.
 TRAY -t <text>                      Set the tray tooltip.
 TRAY -b <text>                      Set the tray balloon.

Well it would be nice if it worked out of the box...

Any feedback on the new tray code? It's in CVS ready to use. I assume it's 100% perfect and ready for release

Complaints and suggestions don't go down too well _after_ release.

Nothing screams at me, but I'm not at all familiar with GTKs tray implementation either.

Seems to work nicely.

However, the blinking seems irregular sometimes. Could it be that the blinking re-syncs every time a new event happens that causes it to blink (even though it's blinking already)?

(Maybe not on topic, but I would welcome an option to have a little popup window instead of the blinking, as my system tray (and the entire KDE bar) is set to auto-hide when the mouse is not at the bottom.)

the -i switch is a little confusing. what internal icons? is it possible to list those, or does it mean: use the ONE internal icon and flash it every <number> seconds?

[peterz]

The -i arg isn't really documented, but here goes:

2 message
5 highlight
8 private message
11 file offer

Can you give me, please, the exact location of the CVS repository that contains the plugin source code ?
