NAME
Gtk2::TrayManager - Perl bindings for EggTrayManager
SYNOPSIS
use Gtk2 -init;
use Gtk2::TrayManager;
my $screen = Gtk2::Gdk::Screen->get_default;
if (Gtk2::TrayManager->check_running($screen)) {
print STDERR "A tray manager is already running, sorry!
";
exit 256;
}
my $tray = Gtk2::TrayManager->new;
$tray->manage_screen($screen);
$tray->set_orientation('vertical');
$tray->signal_connect('tray_icon_added', sub {
# $_[1] is a Gtk2::Socket
});
$tray->signal_connect('tray_icon_removed', sub {
# $_[1] is a Gtk2::Socket
});
ABSTRACT
The EggTrayManager library is used internally by GNOME to implement the server-side of the Notification Area (or system tray) protocol.
Gtk2::TrayManager allows you to create notification area applications using Gtk2-Perl.
METHODS
$running = Gtk2::TrayManager->check_running($screen);
This method returns a boolean value indicating whether another program is already managing notifications for the given Gtk2::Gdk::Screen.
If this method returns a false value, then you should give way to the application that is already running.
$tray = Gtk2::TrayManager->new;
This creates a tray manager object.
$tray->manage_screen($screen);
This tells the tray to manage notifications for the Gtk2::Gdk::Screen referenced by $screen.
$tray->set_orientation($orientation);
This method tells the tray whether icons are to be arranged vertically or horizontally. $orientation may be either '"vertical"' or
'"horizontal"'.
$title = $tray->get_child_title($child);
This method returns a string containing the title of the icon defined by $child.
SIGNALS
"tray_icon_added"
Emitted when a client plug (eg one created by Gtk2::TrayIcon) wants to connect. For callbacks connected to this signal, @_ will have
the form
@_ = (
bless( {}, 'Gtk2::TrayManager' ),
bless( {}, 'Gtk2::Socket' )
);
"tray_icon_added"
Emitted when a client plug has disconnected. For callbacks connected to this signal, @_ will have the form
@_ = (
bless( {}, 'Gtk2::TrayManager' ),
bless( {}, 'Gtk2::Socket' )
);
"message_sent", "message_removed"
The Freedesktop.org specification includes support for "balloon messages", but these are not currently implemented in EggTrayManager.
"lost_selection"
As a rule, compliant applications should check to for an already running manager, and give way to it if it finds one. However, it is
possible that your application might have its X selection forcibly removed; this signal is emitted if this should happen.
