FireTray/TODO

=TODO=

* gdk_visual_get_depth not provided before Gtk 2.22

* add "enable biff notification" option. And if true:

  radio choice option with:
    "display message count"
    "display new-mail image"
    "display custom image"

* also disable notification for excluded mail account servers
Not easily feasible since newmailalerts are hard-coded
http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/find?string=content/newmailalert

* make multi-platform. At least have js-ctypes library call dependant on OS detection. (best would be to have the OS-dependant modules loaded at startup) 

* convert to a https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Extensions/Bootstrapped_extensions

see ../restartless-restart-ffext/ and
http://erikvold.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/10/28/restartless-firefox-addons-part-1-giving-your-addon-the-bootstrap

=WONTFIX=

* ability to hide windows individually/globally

=ROADMAP=

* Mozilla products have entered a
  [rapid release cycle](http://blog.mozilla.com/blog/2011/04/13/new-channels-for-firefox-rapid-releases/
  "Mozilla Blog") which implies frequent rebuilds of XPCOM binary-based addons (such as Firetray)
* authors are encouraged to [port their XPCOM binary-based addons to js-ctypes](https://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.extensions/browse_thread/thread/2d6942c44f303b62/b98debfbccef11ed)
* Francesco doesn't have enough time to maintain the Firetray project in this situation
* Foudil has come up with a prototype js-ctypes version of the project, which is functional, but does not yet cover all features currently supported by the binary-based version.
* the js-ctypes version will endeavor to support uncovered features in the
  future (see below)
* the Firetray project plans to replace the binary-based version with the js-types version when enough features are covered
* meanwhile, Firetray users are invited to switch to the preview release of the js-ctypes version [link to beta channel] and [provide feedback](https://github.com/foudfou/FireTray/issues) as to what important features are missing

==NEXT FEATURES==

* mouse scrolls on tray icon hides/shows
* hide to tray on minimize
* ability to start minimized to tray
* when restoring if the window is iconified, deiconify it
* custom tray icon
* keyboard shortcut hide/show
