Yes. > 2. What type of integration is possible? Systray and menu bar integration. > 3. How is that integration done? Unity installs a plugin for Qt (platformtheme plugin) that redirects some of the X11 calls into those specific to Unity. Though I think the systray (notification) integration is now moved into Qt's own XCB plugin, with no need for the platformtheme plugin to do it. I also think Ubuntu carries patches to Qt that redirect some of the functionality. Those patches have been responsible for breaking some Qt applications -- for example, some were shown with no menu bar, either inside the window or Mac-style in the top bar. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
