Thanks tasmod for your gmail applet 0.5, works great. I've been searching for something like this for some time. I use gmail notifier when using Firefox but then I prefer Opera portable.
Is there anyway of having it startup when booting up computer.

If it is running in tray when you close down, it should restart on next boot.

Be aware it has a 20 second wait time on boot so that net connection can be established.

If net is not up it will fail to start.

Thanks for that but it doesn't work for me. That may be because both Firefox and Opera portable are stored outside the pup save file. Anyway its no big effort to do a click start from the menu. Its a great little app-Irishrm.

It doesn't need a browser, it is completely standalone.

Ahh, just run it here on a new Puppy Lucid 220 install and it doesn't restart on reboot. I will look into that.

OK, I missed a script. There should be two entries for Gmailtrayrun, one in Startup folder and one in Gmailtray folder in /usr/local.

If you have closed the app it will delete the one in Startup and because one is missing from Gmailtray then it cannot re-write it back again.

I've zipped the file, just copy to /usr/local/Gmailtray and then click on it.

Tasmod your script worked . It is starting up at boot, tested a few times. Didn't work at my first attempt hence my edit. Can I say again its a brilliant app and I envy you and the other devs your ability to put these things together. Thanks again-Irishrm.

Ah OK, upon investigation all versions worked in 431 until I added spinbutton for 'interval' choice, this appears to require a later lib.

I will check this out and see what can be done.
