Firetray

Overview

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

Features

  • for all applications:

    • show/hide a single or all windows
    • restore windows to their previous state, position, size
    • restore each window to its original virtual desktop/workspace
    • activate restored windows
    • hide to tray on close
    • hide to tray on minimize
    • start minimized to tray
    • show icon only when hidden to tray
    • mouse scroll on tray icon shows/hides
    • themable icons (forthcoming)
    • popup menu (show/hide indivisual windows, open new windows, quit)
    • keyboard shortcuts (forthcoming)

  • for mail applications:

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

Notes

  • requires GTK+ 2.20 and higher.
  • Firetray temporarily 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 them 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.

  • because of getNumNewMessages()'s strange behaviour, it's impossible to display an accurate count of new messages. The best we can do is display a biff icon.

  • POP users should set [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:FAQs:_Automatically_Download_Messages](Automatically download new messages) to see new message. See this discussion.
