SYNOPSIS

9         use Gtk2 '-init';
10         use Gtk2::AppIndicator;
11         use Cwd;
12
13         # Initialize the status icon. an_icon_name must be present
14         # at the icon theme path location, with an image extension like
15         # .jpg, .png or .svg, etc.
16         $status_icon=Gtk2::AppIndicator->new("AnAppName","an_icon_name");
17
18         # If you want to be in control over your icon location, you
19         # can set it manually. It must be an absolute path, in order
20         # to work.
21         my $absolute_current_working_directory=getcwd();
22         my $acwd=$absolute_current_working_directory;
23         $status_icon->set_icon_theme_path($acwd);
24
25         # Optionally set different icons
26         # $status_icon->set_icon_name_active("an_icon_name");
27         # $status_icon->set_icon_name_attention("an_other_icon_name");
28         # $status_icon->set_icon_name_passive("an_other_icon_name");
29
30         # Add a menu to the indicator

35         my $quit=Gtk2::MenuItem->new_with_mnemonic("_Quit");
36         $quit->signal_connect("activate",sub { Gtk->main_quit(); });
37
38         $menu->append($showcp);
39         $menu->append(Gtk2::SeparatorMenuItem->new());
40         $menu->append($quit);
