Bug ID: 495060
Summary: Provide a Human Interface Guidelines suggestion on how
applications implement system tray behavior
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: System Tray
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: openmail+...@siezi.com
CC: mate...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
When it comes to applications there is a wide variety of implementation of
system tray icon behavior. That being the application hidden and only exposed
through an icon in the task bar.
Some application show their main application window on left click, but don't do
anything else.
Some application toggle their main application window on left click.
Some application provide a context menu on left click
Some application do nothing on left click and only provide a menu on right
click.
Some application do nothing on right click and provide a menu on left click.
Linux is a vast community but it seems that plasma is an entity who has wide
adoption and supports the system tray. It isn't reasonable to expect everybody
to ever follow any guidelines. But if someone does care, wants to research
expected behavior, it would be nice to have some guidelines. Maybe the plasma
HIG are in a position to suggest a preferred behavior.
