Add a11y name for volume applet (1.47 KB, patch)
2010-03-17 15:34 UTC, Bastien Nocera 		none Details | Review

Description Luca Ferretti 2010-02-10 11:39:00 UTC 
I didn't investigate if this is a limitation of GTK API, but currently all icons in notification area are referred by a11y tools (braille, speech..) simply as Icon.

If available, please use something like "Volume Control" as a11y name for gnome-volume-control-applet. If not, poke GTK+ developers :)

# Steps to reproduce #
 * Run accerciser
 * browse the tree to select the volume icon

or...

 * Run Orca (braille or speech mode)
 * Focus the volume icon

# Current Result #
No label for volume icon, just "Icon" in Orca

# Expected Result #
The volume icon should have an unique a11y name.

Didn't actually try the patch.

From a quick grep in the GAIL GTK+ module, and in GTK+ itself, I don't see any ATK support for the status icon or it's title. Accerciser does not show any icon names in the notification area at all.

I really just spent five minutes on this. But I remember there being many a bug about this, including bug 431030.
Comment 3 Eitan Isaacson 2010-03-17 16:53:05 UTC 
Actually, never mind the second paragraph. The ATK code wouldn't be with the GTK+ code because it is out of process.
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2010-03-17 17:23:21 UTC 
I added the status icon title support specifically for ATs. I don't know if any of them picked that up, though...
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2010-11-10 13:16:57 UTC 
Mass move to gnome-control-center.
Comment 6 Bastien Nocera 2010-11-18 16:35:18 UTC 
Patch is already merged.
