[SOLVED] Orage icon (with date) not shown anymore in the system tray

lalesculiviu · 2025-01-20 19:03:58

Dear XFCE community,

Everything about XFCE and its programs is great!

But I have this problem when I upgraded my system (I use openSUSE Tumbleweed and update it frequently. I suspect my problem is because of the new XFCE 4.20): The Orage (loaded at startup hidden) does not show anymore its icon in the system tray.

Thank you!

Can you post the ouput of:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv

...as well as run xfce4-panel in debug mode and post back the output?

xfce4-panel -q
PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

loaded at startup hidden

What does this mean?

By hidden I mean in the Orage Preferences, Calendar Window, Calendar Start -> Hide (not Show or Minimized).

The panel plugin has bee deprecated. However, you can integrate orage with the clock plugin - see: https://docs.xfce.org/apps/orage/panel_integration.

Or you can manually run "orage -t" to toggle its visibility.

Thank you, ToZ! It runs in the clock plugin.

Added later 23 h 53 min 52 s:
Hello again,

I have one more question/report: The old-style Orage system tray icon allowed me to hover the cursor and it told me the next 5 alarms. Is it possible to do this now, with the new functionality?

ToZ · 2025-01-22 16:29:32

Hmm. I went to have a closer look and tried to build from source and came across this. Looks like the systray plugin is back but disabled by default. To enable it, you need to build from source with the "--enable-x11-tray-icon" build parameter. Then the old tray icon does show up in the systray like it used to.

This was released in version 4.20.0 of orage but orage would need to be build with that special parameter.

lalesculiviu · 2025-01-22 16:37:10

Thank you, ToZ! Interesting to know!

I might compile by myself.

BTW: using -t switch is usefull also if set as command for Clock/Timer plugin, without it is only show, with switch is first click show, second hide ;-)
