Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

I personally like the new disco mode of xfce-panel introduced with the intelligent auto hiding

Is it the screen recorder doing that?

Re: Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

nah, i guess its a bug/feature in the panel (if i click the systray icon the popupmenu gets the focus but at the same time it seems the panel tries to get it back)

Re: Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

just install and launch a qt app eg: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/octopi/ > set panel to intelligent hide and launch octopi-notifier >click on the icon

Re: Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

Must be something else - I can't replicate the problem with octopi-notifier on the panel.

Edit: Are you using the xfce4-indicator-plugin?

Re: Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

nope I'm using the default systray, also it seems it only happens with the kvantum-qt-style https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/qt5- … antum-svn/ there is also no icon shown if i start the notifier with the fusion style (QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE=fusion octopi-notifier)

edit:

also looks like the panel is unable to display qt5 systray icons(eg http://qt-apps.org/content/show.php/met … nt=167733)

Re: Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

I've split this issue into its own thread.

I'm having / was having / am still kind of having, a similar issue with the dropbox systray icon since Dropbox version 3 changed to QT5. Initially, the icon was not displayed at all. A recent update brings back the icon, but it doesn't survive a suspend/resume cycle. In researching this, I was led to this QT bug report that apparently is the cause.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), I only have 1 QT app (dropbox).

Re: Unable to Display QT5 Systray Icons

well it's still a mystery for me why it is displayed with the kvantum qt theme(maybe because it is based on qtsvg) or why the systray icon is working with the lxqt panel - anyway the filcker is probably still an xfce bug(since everything is working fine with kvantum until i enable autohide) and i get these useful xfcepanel error messages like:

(xfce4-panel:30842): xfce4-panel-CRITICAL **: panel-window.c:2160 (panel_window_active_window_geometry_changed): expression 'WNCK_IS_WINDOW (active_window)' failed.

PS. At least i can forget to write a feature request for the otter browser to add a systray icon...

PPS: also i don't think its a qt5 bug because all systray icons are displayed and usable (with all qt5 styles) in tint2
