This is the closest behaviour to "raise on top", because most window managers
do not honor XRaiseWindow()/gtd_window_raise().

Firetray

Overview

Js-ctypes rewrite of the binary XPCOM version of Firetray.

Features

  • for all applications:

    • show/hide a single or all windows
    • a window gets restored to its previous state, position, size, virtual desktop
    • optional hide to tray on minimize
    • optional start minimized to tray
    • optional show icon only when hidden to tray
  • for mail applications:

    • display unread messages count in tray icon
    • customizable tray icon for mail biff
    • include/exclude mail accounts and folders types to/from unread messages count

Notes

  • requires GTK+ 2.20 and higher.
  • Firetray unsets the tabs.warnOnClose built-in preference, which otherwise disrupts the handeling of the close event.
  • Experimental non-customizable keyboard shortcut for hiding all windows set to: accel-shift-w

KNOWN BUGS

  • windows aren't restored with the same z-order, but there is no means to correct that under Linux

  • notifications for excluded mail account servers are not disabled. Newmailalerts are hard-coded and we can't easily disable thme on a per-server basis (only globally, see mail.biff.show_alert). The proper way would probably be to disable default notifications globally, and handle notifications ourselves. This is out of the scope of this addon, but you may want to give a try to the MailAlert extension

  • child windows (compose message, preferences, ...) are not handled by Firetray. For ex., they are not hidden along with there top-level window.
