The system tray is an area in which an application can display a -small window. It is used to display status information or provide -quick access to commands. A window that has an item in the system tray -usually disappears from the task manager when minimised with the tray -icon providing a replacement. Normally tray icons are specifically -developed as part of an application, but as with window decorations, -&tde; provides a tool for changing this: -<application>ksystraycmd</application>.</para> - -<para>To begin with, we'll take the standard application &kcalc; and turn -it into a system tray application.

The window title is -shown as a tooltip if you hold the mouse pointer over the icon. -<application>ksystraycmd</application> follows standard &tde; -behaviour so the target window can be shown and hidden by clicking the -tray icon, and a standard context menu is available.</para> - -<screenshot> <mediaobject> <imageobject><imagedata -fileref="kcalc-systray.png"></imagedata></imageobject> -</mediaobject></screenshot> -</sect3> - -<sect3 id="more-complex-uses-of-ksystraycmd"> - -<title>More Complex Uses of -<application>ksystraycmd</application></title> - -<para>To illustrate the other features of -<application>ksystraycmd</application>, we'll use a more complicated example: a &konsole; window tracking the -<filename>.xsession-errors</filename> file (this is the log file that records what's -happening on your desktop). To begin with, we'll simply look at how -we can view this: -<screen><prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>konsole</command> <option>--icon</option> log <option>--caption</option> 'X Log' \ -<option>--nomenubar</option> <option>--notabbar</option> <option>--noframe</option> \ -<option>-e</option> tail -f ~/.xsession-errors</userinput></screen> -</para> - - <para>The <option>--caption</option> and <option>--icon</option> -arguments are provided as standard by &tde; applications. You can get -a full list of these global options by running an application with the -<option>--help-kde</option> and <option>--help-qt</option> -parameters. Here we give our &konsole; window the title 'X Log' and -the icon <quote>log</quote>. You can use these options with any &tde; application and -as mentioned above, <application>ksystraycmd</application> takes account of these when creating -the tray icon. The <option>-e</option> argument is specific to &konsole; and tells it -to run the <command>less</command> command. Despite its complexity, we can easily move -this window into the tray with <application>ksystraycmd</application>: - -<screen><prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>ksystraycmd</command> <option>--hidden</option> <option>--title</option> 'X Log' \ -konsole --icon log --caption 'XLog' \ ---nomenubar --notabbar --noframe \ --e tail -f .xsession-errors</userinput></screen> -</para> - - <para>In addition to being the -most complex command we've used, this example demonstrates the -<option>--hidden</option> option which starts the command with only the system tray -icon visible. This example achieves our aim of providing quick access -to the log file, but we can do things a little more efficiently if we -only run the konsole process when it is visible. The command we use -is -<screen><prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>ksystraycmd</command> <option>--startonshow</option> \ - --<option>icon</option> log <option>--tooltip</option> 'X Log' \ -konsole --icon log --caption 'X Log' \ ---nomenubar --notabbar --noframe \ --e tail -f ~/.xsession-errors</userinput></screen> -</para> - -<para>The addition of the <option>--startonshow</option> parameter tells -<application>ksystraycmd</application> to start with only the tray -icon visible (like the <option>--hidden</option> parameter), and to wait until the user -activates the tray icon before running the target command. We've also -used the <option>--quitonhide</option> parameter which tells <application>ksystraycmd</application> to terminate -the target app whenever its window is hidden. Using both these -parameters ensures that our &konsole; tray icon doesn't waste resources -when we aren't using it. Creating and destroying the target window as -we do here prevents the standard icon and title handling of -<application>ksystraycmd</application> from working, so we now need to -specify the initial icon and tooltip explicitly -too.</para> -</sect3> - -<sect3 id="improving-reliability"> - -<title>Improving Reliability</title> - -<para>In all of our previous examples we've relied on -&kstart; and -<application>ksystraycmd</application> to figure out which window we -want to affect, and unless we say otherwise, they assume that the first -window to appear is the one we want. This policy is usually OK because -we are starting the application at the same time, but it can fail -badly when lots of windows are appearing (such as when you log on). To -make our commands more robust we can use the -<option>--window</option> parameter. This specifies the title -of the target window. The following example uses the <option>--window</option> parameter -to ensure that a particular konsole window is affected: - -<screen><prompt>%</prompt> <userinput><command>kstart</command> <option>--iconify</option> <option>--window</option> 'kstart_me' konsole --caption 'kstart_me' -e tail -f ~/.xsession-errors</userinput></screen> - -</para> - -<para>Here we've used the tried and tested technique of specifying a -title for both &kstart; and the target application.

You will -usually only need to set <envar>TDEDIR</envar> to the directory in which -&tde; is installed, but sometimes you might have other &tde; -programs installed elsewhere: in this case, you can use the -<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> environment variable. Set -<envar>TDEDIRS</envar> to a list of all the directories containing -&tde; programs, separated by commas. For example, if you have &tde; -programs in both <filename>/usr/local/kde</filename> and -<filename>/home/phil/kde</filename>, you can use <userinput>export -TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use -<application>bash</application> or <userinput>setenv -TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde,/home/phil/kde</userinput> if you use sh. -</para> -</listitem> -</itemizedlist> -</para> - -<!-- Add links to "further reading" here --> -<itemizedlist> -<title>Related Information</title> -<listitem><para><ulink url="help:/khelpcenter/adminguide">The &tde; -Administrator Guide</ulink> contains -more information about the directories that &tde; uses.</para> -</listitem> -</itemizedlist> - - -</sect1> |
