1 window == only 1 systray icon in 1 place. you can't duplicate it for example
(well u'd need composite manager, redirection, pixmaps and event
emulation/faking). it means the apps creating the icons are NOT alpha aware so
u get a solid box. it's a bit of a mess in that regard and just doesn't mesh
with e. :(

that's easy ot invent our own protocol - that's not the point :( people are
wanting "gaim" or "skype" to work - they don't want to wait for someone to make
a replacement app (which in the skype case may not be possible). the problem is
that the protocol is limiting - the implementation of it even more limiting and
assumptions made by systray using apps, erroneous (not to mention how
incredibly buggy they are when a systray comes and goes - try use trayer or
itray - and close trayer and open it again. *IF* apps followed the protocol -
the systray icons would go away - then all come back, BUT u will find half the
apps will die with x errors, and maybe 10% of them will put their icons back).

unless such a ui spec is part of the notification spec - it's a waste of time
as nothing will support it.

as for a notification "module" - i certainly have no plans on doing one.

imho the notification and the tray system must be separated. They're goal are 
too different to make it in one only module.

I think that basically we need a "notification daemon" like describe in the 
spec. But more than that it would be very great if the daemon posses some 
prebuilt widgets and that all we need is to passe a description of the UI by 
dbus (I risk my life saying that but if we want something multidesktop, xml 
should be used here). 

About the daemon :
He has to be able to parse the xml input and make the corresponding UI (seems 
logical). The xml describe the widgets used, their different properties and 
value and their positions (something like the box model of edje would be great 
for that but again if we wan't something "multi desktop" and not just for e 
maybe this point need some discussion).
Concerning the prebuilt widgets, I'm not talking about remake another toolkit, 
the daemon has just to use already existant basics widgets (i.e: label, button, 
image, progressbar, scrolledview) in the toolkit of his choice.

Thus with a system like that, the theme and toolkit used for the notification 
is not anymore choose by the application but by the user.

Here is my thoughts, whether you took it or not I'm really interested by using 
a notification something so I hope that you are going to start to work on it 
soon :)

Somewhat. There's libnotify and the Desktop Notification Spec.
http://trac.galago-project.org/wiki/DesktopNotifications
http://galago-project.org/specs/notification/index.php
http://galago-project.org/downloads.php

Unfortunately, its not too widely implemented, and the spec is not too
comprehensive either.
But, it does provide a lot more flexiblity than the systray spec in
that it does not restrict you to single icons in a row and of course,
it throws out the ugly sub-windowing for actual images (with alpha)
and text.

This seems like a bad idea to me. Applications shouldnt have to be
minimized to send notifications. In fact, applications shouldn't need
to have a window open to send notifications.

Hmm ... I don't share that opinion :)

I think for now we can get away with just a notification module. Is there any 
spec for this? Anything we should be looking at? (maybe the Gnome & KDE code). 

Basically, it would be nice if we could, maybe extend the IBox so each 
minimized application can send notifications. Maybe we could somehow fool other 
applications into thinking they've been trayed so that they can send 
notifications and we can capture them.

These are just my thoughts, dunno if they're good. Waiting to hear your 
opinions. I might get into this module, in a few days, when I finish my current 
work. I have other things on my list as well (I have updating the carbon theme, 
and integrating some power management into E on my list at the moment).

So basically, I'd like to collect some thoughts on these items. But mostly, on 
this notification thing.

Cheers,
Eugen.

I think that given the current design of the systray spec,
what we have here is just that, currently, implementing this may
give ugly stuff for many systray-apps.. But I don't think it means
that the concept is a bad one and should not be pursued.

If the concept is useful, then it could be made to work well
with 'enlightened' systray related apps - there may not be many such
right now, but maybe some will develop soon... :)

Better to have good with "e-systray-aware-apps" and some
others, but ugly with many others... than nothing at all?

let me save you some time. "system tray icons" as such and the way they are
implemented by client applications are 1. buggy (restart e and wtach most
dissapear as apps simply don't cope having a new system tray start up and an
old one go away), 2. limit you to square boxes per icon where the background is
a solid color. 3. that solid color is either whatever gtk wants as its bg color
OR for qt/kde apps it "inherits" the bg from parent - since e's window have no
bg color (they paint their own contents) this falls over in a stinking heap and
doesn't work. 4. they expect to have mouse events work on them and thus won't
work with canvases, swallowing or layering. they are literal sub-windows.

basically - forget it. tray icons are a royal mess.

I would personally love for you to take itray and fix it up and put it into
e_modules cvs and keep it maintained there. That has been an idea of mine
since itray was trashed. People complain most about a tray not being on e17
so a 3rd party one to point them to would be cool :)

Wouldn't it be possible to use a module so that trayer can be parked in a
shelf?
I've been playing with trayer the last couple days, and it's actually pretty
configurable (albeit only from the CLI with startup options passed). If
trayer could be put into a module "holder" and then added to a shelf - and
add some config options (grow to the left, grow to the right, automagically
resize, etc.) then I think we'd have a pretty good / usable module. It would
also remove the need to add any systray stuff into e itself until such a
time as the spec is fixed (the core functionality of the systray being
maintained by the crystal-fvwm team).

Re: [E-devel] itray module

2006-09-18 Thread Sthithaprajna Garapaty

Since no one has taken the liberty to answer your question...
The old module is still in cvs: 
http://e.kevb.net/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/e17/apps/e/src/modules/itray/

And it would be nice to see some kind of notification module.
However, if you can also put a "Tray spec is broke! Someone fix it." 
dialog box whenever the module is newly installed, maybe people will go 
and try to get the spec fixed.

I assumed it would be, as the last reference I found to it in the
mailing list's archives was around February, and you know way better
than me that a lot changed in the meantime. :)

Anyway, I've got some free time currently, so I'm willing to dive into
it.

[E-devel] itray module

2006-09-18 Thread João Vale
Hi everyone.

I wanted to take a look at the itray module's code. Anyone knows where I
can find it? Even though nobody really likes the current systray system,
I still find handy having a tray, and I'd like to give it a spin.

Cheers,
Vale
