Re: [Geary] [KDE Integration] Add systray

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

I did a little digging and I think I see a more general solution to this.  GtkStatusIcon follows the freedesktop.org system tray specification, which KDE supports as well.  So, this gives us a portable solution.

https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkStatusIcon.html

The next question is, what would Geary offer in the system tray?  If the only function of the systray icon is to bring Geary to the top of display, I feel that the various desktops' docks do that just fine.  Is there something else we should be offering?  I can't think of anything.

Sincerly, I'm a single user and I don't know how it works. But I found  api documentations of KDE on these links:

- http://api.kde.org/pykde-4.5-api/kdeui/KSystemTrayIcon.html

- http://api.kde.org/

Gnote is an example of a gnome application with systemtray support on kde. You can fin source code on: 

- http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnote/

- http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/gnote/3.10/

Thank you

Since Geary is a GNOME app, our primary concern is integration with the GNOME desktop.

However, this is something we could conceivably support, depending on how it works.  Can you point us to an API or documentation on this feature?

Hi Everyone,

There are no way to put geary on systray with KDE 4 ? This app runs correctly with KDE but the only problem is that you can't reduce it on systray.

Thanks
