Title: Indicator Applet support
Post by: skolnick on March 21, 2011, 08:42:47 PM

Hi!

Since Ubuntu 10.04, there is an attempt to organize the system tray (or notification area) more clearly. This has been done by implementing the Indicator Applet, and some apps support it already (notably dropbox). I think it would be useful to support it, since currently the aMule icon appears on the old system tray (Notification Area) and the icon looks ugly (see screenshot, running the default GNOME desktop on Ubuntu 10.04).

Thanks!

On a longer note, good luck getting anyone to implement ubuntu-specific UI in a program or framework.

I'm working on a GTKmm version of amule, with libnotify and appindicator support -> https://github.com/NeoRazorX/gtkmule
Anyone want to help?

PS: sorry for my bad english.

Shouldn't be time better spent coding a GUI for amuled?

I'm still studing amule's code. I don't want to use wxwidgets code on Gtkmule, but it's highly integrated on amule.

Is CamuleRemoteGuiApp class (amule-remote-gui.h) what i must implement?

Basically, yes.
