Stuff about tray icon. Feel free to contribute ;)
qTox supports several tray icon backends. Compiling with or without support for those is managed by flags passed to qmake
| Backend | How to disable |
|---|---|
| KDE Status Notifier (requires GTK) | ENABLE_SYSTRAY_STATUSNOTIFIER_BACKEND=NO |
| Qt | - |
| Unity | ENABLE_SYSTRAY_UNITY_BACKEND=NO |
Which Tray backend works on which DE/WM.
| DE/WM \ Backend | KDE Status Notifier | Qt | Unity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cinnamon | ✔ | ||
| GNOME | ✗ | ✔ | |
| i3 | ✔ | ||
| KDE | |||
| Unity | ✗ | ✗ | ✔ |
| ↑ some assembly required |
Depending on runtime detection and compiled backend support, best tray backend will be used, in descending order:
- Unity
- Status Notifier
- Qt
with a small exception for KDE5, for which there is no tray (blame KDE5).
