Good. This needed its own thread.

There is a problem with the lock button.
If you call xlock before setting a password it will freeze your screen because it expects the password to be set on the console.
It is safer to call /usr/local/apps/Xlock/AppRun which includes code to check for this problem and ask the user to set a password.

you might consider this in func
Code:
function MakeIconList(){
   sleep 1
   : > $HOME/.ptray/icon-list
   DESKTOPFILES=(`find /usr/share -name '*.desktop'`)
   for FILE in ${DESKTOPFILES[@]}; do
      ICON=$(grep Icon $FILE| sed 's/Icon=//g')
      APP=$(grep Exec $FILE | sed 's/Exec=//g' | cut -d ' ' -f 1)
      echo $APP,$ICON >> $HOME/.ptray/icon-list
   done
}

GetIcon(){
if [ "$(which $1)" ]; then # only get icons for applications in the path
   LINE="$(cat $HOME/.ptray/icon-list | grep $1 | tail -1)" #get the last match so that we can pick up new additions
   ICONNAME=$(echo $LINE | cut -d ',' -f 2)
   if [ -e "$ICONNAME" ] ; then
      ICON=$ICONNAME
   elif [ -e "/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/$ICONNAME" ]; then
      ICON="/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/$ICONNAME"
   elif [ -e "$HOME/.icons/$ICONNAME" ]; then
      ICON="$HOME/.icons/$ICONNAME"
   elif [ -e "/usr/share/pixmaps/$ICONNAME" ]; then
      ICON="/usr/share/pixmaps/$ICONNAME"
   elif [ -e "/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/$ICONNAME" ]; then
      ICON="/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/$ICONNAME"
   fi
   if [ ! "$LINE" ]; then #checking LINE instead of PIC allows it to fail faster on subsequent runs
      ICON=$(find /usr -name "$1*" | grep -E '\.xpm$|\.png$'| head -1)
      echo "$1,$ICON" >> $HOME/.ptray/icon-list
   fi
fi
}


Code:
#hairywill
MakeIconList
   while read I; do
      #find description
      if [ "`find /usr/share/applications/ -iname "*$I*"`" ]; then
         TMP=`find /usr/share/applications/ -iname "*$I*"`
         POPUP="`cat $TMP | grep -m 1 Name | cut -d '=' -f 2`"
      else
         POPUP=""
      fi
      #find icon
      ICON="`cat $HOME/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/globicons | grep -m 1 -A 1 $I | cut -d '>' -f 2 | cut -d '<' -f 1 | grep -v "^$"`"
#hairywill
      [ ! "$ICON" ]  && GetIcon $I
      if [ ! "$ICON" ]; then ICON=star48.png; fi
If the icon isn't specified in globicons it will try and use something specified by the .desktop file before using the generic star. Often this will result in a 16x16 pixmap being enlarged. There is a trade off here between the aesthetics of an ugly icon and the usability of a generic icon which gives no hint as to the application it launches. This is less of a problem if one chooses to reduce the height of the tray.

Hi guys,

I installed Ptray-0.4 today on my 412 box today.

Unfortunately it still crashed the main tray when trying to switch themes. I don't know if it is related to Ptray but when I reinstalled Ptray I recovered (and so did JWM Laughing )

Is there a logfile for this? If so I'll post it.

The problem isn't in ptray, it's in the Gtk theme switcher. Check the Alpha4 bugs thread for Hairywill's patch to fix. It definitely works. Either that or wait a couple of hours for Beta1 with the fix embedded. Wink

The easiest would be:
1. build the tray the way you want it
2. config manually - remove empty buttons (spacers)
3. restart jwm

Could you please explain the process by which Ptray sets itself up? Specifically, how it gathers info for adding programs/icons to the top tray. I am having some problems with adding programs, specifically, TkSpider and also CUPS. I guess something is broken in the chain of info gathering, so, say, TkSpider displays the star icon instead of the correct one. If I could understand the chain, I could fix it I think.

Ptray uses the information in /root/Choices/ROX-filer/globicons. If target is not found here it uses the specs in /usr/share/applications/name_of_program.desktop.

I have not looked into your specific case. Please report if you find any bugs.

I have ptray working in upup476. It didn't work at first and all of a sudden I installed technosaurus's gpe-0.117-i486.pet and it all of a sudden worked. Though the Poweroff, Show Desktop, and Lock Screen buttons don't work along with the icon not being available for Edit Tray. How can i fix this?
