[ubuntu] Pidgin icon in notification panel

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi everyone, I've installed Ubuntu 12.04, and the first thing that I did was setting classic gnome session instead of Unity which I don't like. Everything is nice except one fact: I'm using Pidgin, and I am unable to make it show an icon in the notification panel (in the right up corner). Of course in Pidgin settings I choose "always show in the notification panel", but it changed nothing. The other problem is that I'm unable to change the size of the panels (both top and the bottom panel), which was not a problem in the older version of Ubuntu. Is there any way to deal with th (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Pidgin icon in notification panel

I'm running 11.10 Unity and I installed a program "Covergloobus" which shows lyrics for songs. It's supposed to show an icon in the top panel but it doesn't. When I load it up in Gnome Classic it shows.

Is there a way to add the indicator to the panel manually since it won't work through the program?

I have 11.09 ubuntu on my pc , I have installed gnome 3 . when i login , I can see notification of skype in the tray , but i want to keep watching it, i cant do as tray hides by it self , in older version , in the panel i could keep watching it .

How to change the panel of gnome3?

how to put skype notification on the top of the panel ?

ClassicMenu Indicator is a notification area applet (application indicator) for the top panel of Ubuntu’s Unity desktop environment. It provides a simple way to get a classic GNOME-style application menu for those who prefer this over the Unity dash menu.

I'd like to ask, is it possible to put move the top panel to the SIDE using an extension or otherwise?

I've been searching the forums and google for a while and nothing seems to work. I have a top and bottom panel in ubuntu 12.04 gnome classic using the default ambiance theme.

My top panel has all my most used apps on but they are all the same size as the panel and touching each other. I'd like to reduce them and space them out a bit.

Anyone managed this and know how to do it?

Thanks.

The suggested solution:

run dconf-editor open desktop -> unity -> panel set systray-whitelist to "['all']"

doesn't work for nouveau.

Nothing less than a gnome 2 interface will work for me.

Delighted to see "GNOME Classic in Ubuntu 12.04: It’s Like Nothing Ever Changed" at

All you have to do is "Open the Ubuntu Software Centre and search for ‘gnome-panel’, ..."

But it is not there. WTF!?

Never mind.

The keyboard icon is missing from the notification panel after installing a custom samsung based rom "leaked jelly bean" Any help ?

I've set up another user colin.pidgin and I've started up Pidgin and configured it under this user.

My issue is... without sudoing into this user ( sudo su -d /bin/bash colin.pidgin )

How do I actually start Pidgin under this user?

I want to be able to click a button on the Unity panel and have this happen.

Anyone have an idea?
