GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 312110
[enh] improved tray icon usability
Last modified: 2008-09-28 01:05:54 UTC
Myself and some friends have been using a modified version of the Muine tray icon plugin for a while now. We all believe that it's more useful than the official version. Semantics are: Left click: show/hide main window. Middle click: play/pause Right click: pop up context menu Additionally, a "quit" item is added to the context menu. Also, when the close button is clicked on the playlist dialog, it is merely dismissed (as opposed to closing the entire program). I know that this feature was rejected before, but now that the tray icon is a separate plugin that is only installed if the user explicitly wants it, this behaviour is a lot more reasonable. I'll clean up the version that I've been using and generate a diff against CVS HEAD.
Created attachment 49997 [details] [review] the patch for the improved interface
This wont go into main, but feel free to publish your own plugin.
Reopening because some people like to discuss this 'feature'... :)
Created attachment 90306 [details] [review] 20_desrt_trayicon_behaviour.patch from ubuntu muine package this is the patch that ubuntu feisty is currently carrying. i wrote it and i think bhale has tweaked it a few times to track muine changes.
I support the original idea of the patch.
Ok, I like the behaviour described by the original reporter. If nobody complains I'd suggest that desrt sneaks his patch in when nobody looks and then closes this bug report (and *finally* be done with it...).
Finally commited to svn trunk!! Thanks for the patch! 2008-09-28 Luis Medinas <lmedinas@gnome.org> * plugins/TrayIcon.cs: * plugins/TrayIcon.xml: Improve tray icon usuability. Fixes bgo #312110 and #378019. Patch from Ryan Lortie (desrt) <desrt@desrt.ca> minor change on menu from me.
