Feature: configurable positon of controls.

Closed this issue · 10 comments

Hi, I tried it out and it works very well. Almost perfectly. One thing that I don't like is that if my tray is on the bottom I can by mistake click on the "Quit" in menu (it happens often actually). Can you provide some configuration for example in .config/hackertray directory? I would love to be able to set some option that will force control buttons will be displayed on top of the menu.

Thanks! And I love simplicity of project idea.

That makes sense. I'll see what I can do.

Also Is it ok that for me menu closes once it lost focus? If it is then imho it also should be configurable.

It isn't supposed to close, but in the case of appindicator, it closes if you hover to another icon in the vicinity.

For me it closes even if I just leave it to desktop for example.
Everything else like pidgin, dropbox, caffeine works fine. I don't have
anything related to appindicator installed, I don't want to drag all
that dependencies to mutt desktop.

I'll try it in mate if I get some time.

Ok, thank you! :D It can wait, not big deal.

I'm thinking of adding a -r flag to hackertray that would reverse the position of the "options" part of the menu. In case you still use hackertray, I was wondering which one of these would you prefer:

  • Quit
  • About
  • Refresh
  • Show Comments
  • News Items

= or =

  • Show Comments
  • About
  • Refresh
  • Quit
  • News Items

I'm leaning towards 1 because that would make quit the top most menu item.

I actually implemented my own version in Clojure :) But still thank you
for looking at this feedback!

#13 (comment).

After using it on both cinnamon (where the system tray is at bottom right), as well as on elementary (top right), I think having the Options menu items at bottom is perfectly fine for both cases.

Added a --reverse option in 4.0.1 release today 🎉
