xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin - Status Notifier Plugin
xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin provides a panel area for status notifier items (application indicators). Applications may use these items to display their status and interact with user. This technology is a modern alternative to systray and follows the freedesktop.org specification regarding status notification.
As of xfce 4.15, the functionality provided by xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin has been integrated into the xfce4-panel's systray. Going forward, this plugin is considered to be deprecated.
Usage
- Compile or install xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin
- Right-click on the added plugin, select Properties to open the settings window.
Known Issues
Plugin Doesn't Show Any Items
There is already a running service which works with status notifier items. Most probably it's the indicator-application service which is used by xfce4-indicator-plugin. Make sure this service is not running: remove this indicator from xfce4-indicator-plugin and remove the service from autostart.
