As all egg libs, EggTrayIcon is not considered api stable and its not installed as a shared object. Enough about what it is not, C<Gtk2::TrayIcon> is first and foremost a simple way of giving a Gtk2 script access to the system tray. System Trays are found in both KDE and Gnome. But neither support the spec fully (see below). C<Gtk2::TrayIcon> is a subclass of C<Gtk2::Plug> and should be used as such. =head1 METHODS 5 methods are available. =over 4 =item $trayicon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new_from_screen($screen, $name) This creates a widget already connected to the notification area of C<$screen>. C<$screen> should be a C<Gtk::Gdk::Screen>. =item $trayicon= Gtk2::TrayIcon->new($name) Like C<new_from_screen> but uses the default screen of the active display. =item $msgid= $trayicon->send_message($timeout, $message) Ask the tray to display C<$message> for C<$timeout> milliseconds. If C<$timeout> is 0, the message will not expire. Note that it is up to the tray to decide what to do with the message both Gnome and KDE just ignores it. =item $trayicon->cancel_message($msgid) Ask the tray to cancel the message. =back =head1 SEE ALSO L<Glib>, L<Gtk2> and The System Tray Spec http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec. =head1 AUTHOR Christian Borup E<lt>gtk2-perl at borup dot comE<gt> =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2003 by the gtk2-perl team.
