Re: [orca-list] Notification Icons Question

For the average end user, I don't think it matters much.  If the
Ctrl-F1 is toggled at least onece, then he or she knows from then on,
what the icon stands for.  I developer might be interested in knowing
where the text is coming from.  Now knowing what I know at this
moment, I would be unable to tell a wood-be developer what change he
needs to make to make that Icon automatically talk when you tab over
it.

Again, I don't know all the ATK function calls available that should
be included in programs.  After all, I thought gtk+ was supposed d to
be pretty much automatically inclusive of a11y things.

Hello,
What is happening when you press ctrl+f1 is the tooltip is being
spoken. Now I am not sure why it acts like a toggle, is it
showing/hiding the tooltip?

Now a question, might it be worth having it that if the item has no
text for it then orca could fall back to the tooltip? Its very
tempting but I feel may be orca should let you know its used the
tooltip if it relies on that.

Anyone else have any thoughts on that?

Is this related something you might have added? This sounds familiar
now.  Yeah, it seems to toggle the announcement on and off.  It worked
the same way for both of these icons.  That will be really handy.
What I'm curious about now is what makes these two different from the
others that talk strait away. I also notice a couple silent spots
which also come to life when I hit Ctrl-F1 like the Window selecter.

Thanks for the tip / reminder.

Any ideas for my question below? I haven't seen any action on this.

I have two programs running in my notification area which do not
identify themselves when I tab over them in the top frame of my
desktop.  As I tab past, I just hear the word, "Icon" for each of
them.  One is Dropbox and the other is my UPS monitoring daemon.  The
other ones speak fine.  What does Orca look for to identify these
notification icons? Is there anything I can update myself to get these
to identify themselves when I tab over them with Orca?

I'm running latest git version of Orca under Arch Linux with latest
updates.

Thanks for any ideas.
