[DEV] tray [was: amsn and fluxbox]

[trv]

Yes of course you're right it's crappy, but except this one it's just perfect for my needs.
Unfortunately the developer has stopped developing it and only accepts patches now.. its written in python, so if you know what you're looking for it should be simple to fix.

Well, the problem seems to be even more minor from what i noticed just now:

In pypanel, in the right hand are where is the icon tray. there is no amsn icon, but, the 'area' that the icon should be is occupied.
If you click on the empty space, amsn shows up, if you click again it hides, right click works etc. Just the icon is not visible anywhere.

I haven't noticed it before because there was no empty space between to other icons..

Here is a screenshot of the bottom right corner of the desktop running pypanel, I think it's pretty obvious:



If functions like there was an icon there, but there is not

I think i've narrowed it down now

further info:

Using pypanel height 21 pixels or more, the icon shows up nicely.
Using height 20 or less, the icon is missing, there only empty space instead of the icon.

I was using height=20 pixels untill now..

Is this behaviour expected?

I can see that the skin icons that go in the tray are all 22x22 pixels, so that explains it.

But, shouldn't they 'shrink' like all the other icons do?

I used to like pypanel, it should still be installed on my system, so I'll give it a try. The icons do shrink, but I'm wondering why this doesn't seem to happen in this case... I'll look into it as soon as I have some time!

@kjir, thanks for looking into this...
There's another post concerning the tray icon here : http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5860
it's in french, but it basically says that the icon is too big for his small tray, his tray is 19x19, and since we set the minimal size to 24x24, it screws him up... we set it to 24x24 because trayer keeps its size at 16x16 even if trayer is larger.. so we would need to make the minimum size smaller and still have it show the appropriate size in trayer...
I hope you can fix all of this, sorry for the trouble! :$

I can speak french
I already had a look into trayer, but couldn't find anything yet. It will take a little time, I fear...
