How to make an indicator for Ubuntu? (Because tray is useless )

http://askubuntu.com – So as more of you know, ubuntu has dropped the whole thing about tray and bringed something new called indicators.. As far as i know Qt Creator (IDE) is able to make only a tray and not an indicator (Just to mention there is a package in ubuntu called sni-qt which comes preinstalled, that can show tray icons but they lose a lot of their abilities like left clicking, scrolling at tray and others ).. I think the same question was asked here (Using AppIndicators with the Qt framework) and one of the answers was for this package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/appmenu-qt).. With this packag (HowTos)

Add new functionality to your Ubuntu panel. Whether you want to see the weather at a glance, disable your touchpad or manage your clipboard, indicator applets are what you’re looking for.

Indicator-updatemanager is small update indicator in system-tray that informs about available updates. It will disable the annoying popup ‘Update Manger’ window. It’s in an early development stage and might still have bugs. But it works. This is developed by Jonas Frei, and the code is hosted on launchpad.net/indicator-updatemanager.

I wrote an article about installing Radio Tray in Ubuntu Lucid and Maverick. It now turns out that you don’t need to download Radio Tray in order to install in Maverick.

This brief tutorial will show you how to listen to your favorite Internet radio with a small package called Radio Tray. Radio Tray is an online radio streaming player for Linux that runs on the system tray (Panel). It main focus is to play online radio and nothing else.

Hi all, sorry for the vague title but I couldn't think of a better one.

This is what I'm currently attempting: Take the Radio Tray source and strip it of references to the graphical parts (Systray.py and some GTK references). Then build a curses interface and connect it to the parts responsible for audio playback and state change events.

For some reason Ubuntu (12.04) only starts if a CD is in the CD tray. After selecting the OS if no CD is in the tray then the computer stays with a blank purple screen, but when there is the disc is read and ubuntu boots. It seems to work regardless of disc.

I am using 64-bit Fedora 17 and I have a networked HP Color LaserJet 4650dn.

On this printer, Tray 1 is manual feed and Tray 2 is the "real" paper tray.

I do not know for sure when Fedora started sending everything to tray 1 rather than tray 2 (I guess I don't print much), but...

First, i look at my printer configuration by running "system-config-printer".

appmenu-gtk dependency problem 32 weeks 3 days ago

appmenu-gtk has dependencies on gtk2-ubuntu & gtk3-ubuntu. Both of them conflict with gtk2 & gtk3.Now I use gtk ubuntu instead of original gtk so that I can install appmenu-gtkAfter installation, appmenu-gtk works My question: 1. Is this the best way to install appmenu-gtk (Has to remove gtk2 & gtk3)?2. Is the gtk package in Chakra diff from gtk ubuntu?
