25
26       This module has been deprecated by the Gtk-Perl project.  This means
27       that the module will no longer be updated with security patches, bug
28       fixes, or when changes are made in the Perl ABI.  The Git repo for this
29       module has been archived (made read-only), it will no longer possible
30       to submit new commits to it.  You are more than welcome to ask about
31       this module on the Gtk-Perl mailing list, but our priorities going
32       forward will be maintaining Gtk-Perl modules that are supported and
33       maintained upstream; this module is neither.
34
35       Since this module is licensed under the LGPL v2.1, you may also fork
36       this module, if you wish, but you will need to use a different name for
37       it on CPAN, and the Gtk-Perl team requests that you use your own
38       resources (mailing list, Git repos, bug trackers, etc.) to maintain
39       your fork going forward.

55       EggTrayIcon is slated for inclusion in Gtk+ at some point, which is the
56       reason the "Gtk2::TrayIcon" namespace. As all egg libs, EggTrayIcon is
57       not considered api stable and its not installed as a shared object.
58
59       Enough about what it is not, "Gtk2::TrayIcon" is first and foremost a
60       simple way of giving a Gtk2 script access to the system tray.
61
62       System Trays are found in both KDE and Gnome. But neither support the
63       spec fully (see below).
64
65       "Gtk2::TrayIcon" is a subclass of "Gtk2::Plug" and should be used as
66       such.
67

METHODS

69       5 methods are available.
70
71       $trayicon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new_from_screen($screen, $name)
72           This creates a widget already connected to the notification area of
73           $screen. $screen should be a "Gtk::Gdk::Screen".
74
75       $trayicon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new($name)
76           Like "new_from_screen" but uses the default screen of the active
77           display.
78
79       $msgid= $trayicon->send_message($timeout, $message)
80           Ask the tray to display $message for $timeout milliseconds.  If
81           $timeout is 0, the message will not expire.
82
83           Note that it is up to the tray to decide what to do with the
84           message both Gnome and KDE just ignores it.
85
86       $trayicon->cancel_message($msgid)
87           Ask the tray to cancel the message.
