Hello,
I'm using kde 4.3 and amule 2.2.5, and I would like a better tray icon :
- not pixelized
- real transparency, the background can be gray or black
- the "hide" feature does not work at all
Here is a screenshot

Thank you to all contributors for your great work ;)

IIRC, this was some issue that GTK had with tray icons under KDE. At least on KDE 3.5 it happened. I have no clue if there is a way to solve it under KDE 4.x
Regards.

IIRC, some time long ago (somewhere between 2.1.3 and 2.2.0), wuischke wanted to improve the whole looking of amule. i don't know what become of that wish.
-
A lot of files locked because of some GUI work that is still going on, mostly due to the fact real life happened on me.
-
RL usually should have the higher priority ;)
And the only ETA you can give is Soon (TM), right? :D
Maybe after the big GUI change I'll have some nice feature ideas or improvements...

This doesn't happen with Xubuntu and wxGTK. So it might actually be a KDE issue like skolnick said.
About the "hide" feature not working at all, check this: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=17068.0

No it isn't. I have it both on vista and gentoo+gtk. I think it has something to do with download bar in trayicon, as i have never seen such behaviour with zero download.
-
I have transparent background on Vista (MSVC build).
-
i don't believe such simple issue could be unsolvable. I watched the icon for a long time and now i'm certain that the cause is the download bar.
By the way, from where does amule takes line's physical limit? i mean this bar is supposed to show the percentage of the line using, right? How can he do this not knowing line's bandwidth?
-
Using the values you enter in preferences.
-
I enter zero there. it won't give amule much info.
-
Capabilities, not speed. Do you enter 0 in the capabilities?
-
Oh, the ones in the statistics - i found them, i entered sane values there and the very same moment amule's trayicon become normal. A few moments later it broke again, but even those few moment were the first in a looong time when a saw the correct trayicon.
something is not working in remotegui's statistics (apart from not working at all ;D)

Morse, please stay on topic. This is not IRC.

Someone is not providing helpful information. Please start a new thread and report what's wrong. Unless it's about the scopes which are not implemented (yet).
-
i'm a humble user, i can't provide much more than a screenshot and a short description.
as of starting a new thread - it's the very same problem that was described by topic starter. if you think that it's a bug then you may move this thread, but i won't start the double.

How is statistics related to the tray icon?
-
good question... i don't know.
but the fact is: changing statistics' "line capacities" makes amule's trayicon to break (or, to be precise, to fix temporally, anyway - it affect) - as it can be seen in screenshot from my previous post.
-
Because the line for downloads speed is based on the capabilities of the internet connection, which is set on the statistics section, Stu.
-
But why should this be related to transparency?
-
Oh, that I don't know. But it's probably related to my good old hack with masks and taking the surrounding colour to overwrite the mask background (which iirc was pure 255,0,0).
You are in windows so you can't look at it. I will check if I can reproduce later today.

I can confirm this the surrounding color is red and that's the masking color for transparency.
I also looked at the wx documentation back then and it seemed like the normal way to implement it.
Well, this might sound like I am protecting Kry - no, I don't. ;D
