This is a very small python script that acts as a front-end to vboxmanage. It creates a systray icon that, when right-clicked, will present a list of virtual machines to run along with an item that will let you run the main VirtualBox interface.
Features:
- Automatically polls vboxmanage for the list of virtual machines every 10 seconds
- Uses VirtualBox icon from the current icon theme, so is themeable
Dependencies:
- python3
- gtk3 and glib for python3
This program was inspired by cinnamon-vbox-launcher (github / cinnamon spices) by mockturtl. I mainly wanted a version that would work in Openbox, which is the WM I work with when I'm cheating on Cinnamon. ;)
