NAME

Gtk2::TrayManager - (DEPRECATED) 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!\n";
	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

DEPRECATED 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.

DESCRIPTION

NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE

This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project. This means that the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI. The Git repo for this module has been archived (made read-only), it will no longer possible to submit new commits to it. You are more than welcome to ask about this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and maintained upstream; this module is neither.

Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2.1, you may also fork this module, if you wish, but you will need to use a different name for it on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own resources (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain your fork going forward.

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'.

$orientation = $tray->get_orientation;

This is the counterpart to set_orientation.

$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.
