Move indicators to system tray

Post by gleb » Mon Aug 03, 2015 1:44 pm

Is there any way to move indicators(such as volume, brightness, network, battery) to the system tray? Currently they are located on panel as corresponding applets. I saw such a thing in older versions of Ubuntu and Windows also has indicators in system tray.

I think this can be done by using special applications (for changing brightness or sound volume), which can minimize to tray, but after trying different ones and googling I didn’t find anyone. Maybe you can recommend me some.

I am using Linux Mint 17.1 with Cinnamon 2.4.5

I think if you «unlock» widgets on your desktop, or make sure they are unlocked by right clicking your desktop and selecting unlocking widgets, and then selecting the «panel toolbox» , or «Cashew» icon, in upper right corner of desktop, or preferably the far right of the system tray, panel then you can drag and drop those indicator(s) from their current place to your system panel (tray).

Usually, the indicators that you mentioned are already located in Linux Mint’s system tray (panel) by default. If for some reason they are not, you should also be able to add those indicators ( their widgets, applets, etc . ) using the «panel’s toolbox» icon usually located at the far right of the system tray (panel); just click that panel toolbox icon, click «add widgets», and search for an add those indicator widgets that you want or like, then exit the «panel tool box».

Then, you might to lock your widgets.

I am not really sure I understood you correctly, but I think you are talking about desklets(or as you wrote «widgets»). As far as I know they can’t be moved to tray, at least in Cinnamon.

In Cinnamon, system tray is an independent applet, located as all applets on a panel. The problem is that the only application that is located in system tray is the update manager and all indicators are individual applets.

The tray is an applet, also volume, brightness and so on are applets. You cannot place an applet inside another applet. The tray applet can only receive icons from programs, which are designed for showing tray icons (or place them there with the help of other programs).

This is different than in Windows, where you have a tray, where both system and drivers as well as programs can store its icons. The downside of this is, that you have (near to) no control, in which order they appear there. In Cinnamon you can place applets in a way, that every applet’s icon has its dedicated place. And that what you see in the tray applet are really programs. See the tray applet as a container for this. And see the panel as a container for the applets.

Cosmo., thank you very much for your answer. So the indicators(as well as other applets) can’t be moved to the tray, I understand it. That’s why the only way to solve this problem is to find programs that can show their icons in the tray, right?

So, as a possible solution, If someone knows such applications, please post them here.

You can use kdocker to bring any program (not applet) to the tray. For firefox and thunderbird do exist extensions to make this possible.

Re: Move indicators to system tray

Post by gleb » Wed Aug 05, 2015 5:11 am

kdocker is a cool app but it only creates an icon of application is system tray and I want these indicators to show info and to have ability to change value (for example of volume) by using my scroller.

Actually I found one application that suits my need. To make it more clear I made a few screenshot.

Image

So here is what I have when I asked this question:

As you can see there is only update manager application in system tray.

Image

Then I found kmix application and it was what I needed:

It is in system tray and when you hover it, the volume info is showed and you can also change volume using your scroller(of course when you hover an icon).

Image

But it doesn’t suit the design well and I found no way to change icon so I keep searching. And volti was exactly what I needed:

But this is only one application. I also need corresponding application for all other applets. If someone know appropriate ones, I will be very thankful for your help.

Крупные торговые сети выступили против «честной» цены⁠ ⁠

Крупные торговые сети выступили против законопроекта о «честной» цене, который внесли в Госдуму в начале июня.

Источник: Reuters
Согласно документу, для осуществления полного информирования потребителей и пресечения злоупотребления доверием потребителей депутаты предлагают обязать продавцов указывать на ценниках товаров дополнительную информацию о цене продукции за целую общепринятую единицу измерения, например, за 1 кг или 1 л.

«Мы не фиксируем массового запроса от потребителей на такие изменения в ценниках, — сказали “Известиям” в Ассоциации компаний розничной торговли (АКОРТ). — Большинство покупателей при выборе продуктов редко ориентируются на конкретный вес, а в первую очередь оперируют удобством упаковки и доступностью по цене конкретного товара».
При этом торговые сети уже используют практику указания цены за целую единицу измерения в случаях объективной востребованности такой информации. Они оценивают, не будет ли она перегружать ценник и путать покупателей и несет ли практическую пользу в каждом конкретном случае.

Предложение по обязательному указанию цены за килограмм или литр продукции повлечет дополнительные затраты для торговли и перестройку операционных процессов, потребует пересчета стоимости каждой ассортиментной позиции, а также изменения всех ценников, уверены в АКОРТ.

Судя по тому, что:
1. В логистике указывается всегда вес единицы товара
2. Имея вес товара и цену установленную продажником, пересчитать на 1кг/литр и ввести на печать в ценник — делается школьником программистом

[SOLVED]System Tray Missing

Post by Ozo » Mon Feb 01, 2016 11:03 pm

Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Cinnamon: I select the System Tray Applet but I get the Network Manager Icon on the panel. It is the same icon as the actual Network Manager Applet only larger. When I click the Applet on the tray which is supposed to be the System Tray (the big network icon) I get network information. There is no System Tray.

Open the applet settings and check, if there is a green dot icon behind the tray icon. If this does not show, the applet is not added to the panel.

If this does not help, revert your theme to the default theme to see, if this changes anything.

I am using the default theme. However; today I have a bigger problem than that. I do not actually know how big a problem not having a system tray is. Today I started my computer and have no Menu applet on the panel. The phony System applet is missing too. I reset to default panel applets but there is no change. I noticed another change too. The desktop icons were showing but had previously been off.

What do you mean with this?

Create a new user account and check there, if it reproduces the problem.

Read my first post. I just reloaded the OS so am marking this solved but if you know why this happens please post it .

The System Tray is present now. It is the Update icon.

Re: System Tray Missing

Post by Cosmo. » Tue Feb 02, 2016 5:43 pm

Do you mean, why the tray applet vanished? Maybe this: There is a new option in LM 17.3 Cinnamon for supporting indicators in the tray, activated by default. This makes it rather easy to remove the complete applet erroneously. Yo can deactivate it in the general settings of cinnamon.

Re: [SOLVED]System Tray Missing

Post by Ozo » Tue Feb 02, 2016 5:57 pm

You are correct. There was an HP icon beside the update icon and when I removed it the update icon was removed as well. However, when I added the System Tray applet to the panel it added an icon similar to the network icon that included network info but not the same info as in the default network applet. Now, following my reinstall of the OS, I can remove and replace the system tray and when replaced it is the actual system tray (with update icon) and not the previous network type applet. As to why the genuine system tray applet was missing from the applet list, it is a mystery.

Yes, this may be a necro-post, but I just ran into this problem.

My system tray «disappeared», mysteriously. I was running version 18.3.

18.3 — I cold-rebooted, still gone.
19 — I upgraded off of 18.3 to 19, still gone.
19 — I made a new user, problem remained in that user, still gone.

I want to (re)install the system tray package. What is its name?

$ sudo apt-get install systemtray
[sudo] password for triton:
Reading package lists. Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information. Done
E: Unable to locate package systemtray
