Tray icon

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
GTK (Status Notifier) ENABLE_SYSTRAY_STATUSNOTIFIER_BACKEND=NO
Qt -
Unity ENABLE_SYSTRAY_UNITY_BACKEND=NO

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).
