### Detailed Description

The "system tray" or notification area is normally used for transient icons that indicate some special state. For example, a system tray icon might appear to tell the user that they have new mail, or have an incoming instant message, or something along those lines. The basic idea is that creating an icon in the notification area is less annoying than popping up a dialog.

A `GtkStatusIcon` object can be used to display an icon in a "system tray". The icon can have a tooltip, and the user can interact with it by activating it or popping up a context menu. Critical information should not solely be displayed in a `GtkStatusIcon`, since it may not be visible (e.g. when the user doesn't have a notification area on his panel). This can be checked with `gtkStatusIconIsEmbedded`.

On X11, the implementation follows the freedesktop.org "System Tray" specification (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards/systemtray-spec). Implementations of the "tray" side of this specification can be found e.g. in the GNOME and KDE panel applications.

Note that a GtkStatusIcon is not a widget, but just a `GObject`. Making it a widget would be impractical, since the system tray on Win32 doesn't allow to embed arbitrary widgets.

### Structures

`GtkStatusIcon`

  undocumented

### Convenient Construction

`gtkStatusIcon` is the result of collapsing the constructors of `GtkStatusIcon` (`gtkStatusIconNew`, `gtkStatusIconNewFromGicon`) and accepts a subset of its arguments matching the required arguments of one of its delegate constructors.

### Signals

`activate(status.icon, user.data)`

  Gets emitted when the user activates the status icon. If and how status icons can activated is platform-dependent.

  Unlike most G_SIGNAL_ACTION signals, this signal is meant to be used by applications and should be wrapped by language bindings. Since 2.10

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`button-press-event(status.icon, event, user.data)`

  The ::button-press-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.

  Whether this event is emitted is platform-dependent. Use the ::activate and ::popup-menu signals in preference. Since 2.14

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal

  `event`

    the `GdkEventButton` which triggered this signal

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  Returns: [logical] `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

`button-release-event(status.icon, event, user.data)`

  The ::button-release-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.

  Whether this event is emitted is platform-dependent. Use the ::activate and ::popup-menu signals in preference. Since 2.14

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal

  `event`

    the `GdkEventButton` which triggered this signal

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  Returns: [logical] `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

`popup-menu(status.icon, button, activate.time, user.data)`

  Gets emitted when the user brings up the context menu of the status icon. Whether status icons can have context menus and how these are activated is platform-dependent.

  The `button` and `activate.time` parameters should be passed as the last to arguments to `gtkMenuPopup`.

  Unlike most G_SIGNAL_ACTION signals, this signal is meant to be used by applications and should be wrapped by language bindings. Since 2.10

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal

  `button`

    the button that was pressed, or 0 if the signal is not emitted in response to a button press event

  `activate.time`

    the timestamp of the event that triggered the signal emission

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

`query-tooltip(status.icon, x, y, keyboard.mode, tooltip, user.data)`

  Emitted when the `"gtk-tooltip-timeout"` has expired with the cursor hovering above `status.icon`; or emitted when `status.icon` got focus in keyboard mode.

  Using the given coordinates, the signal handler should determine whether a tooltip should be shown for `status.icon`. If this is the case `TRUE` should be returned, `FALSE` otherwise. Note that if `keyboard.mode` is `TRUE`, the values of `x` and `y` are undefined and should not be used.

  The signal handler is free to manipulate `tooltip` with the therefore destined function calls.

  Whether this signal is emitted is platform-dependent. For plain text tooltips, use `"tooltip-text"` in preference. Since 2.16

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal

  `x`

    the x coordinate of the cursor position where the request has been emitted, relative to `status.icon`

  `y`

    the y coordinate of the cursor position where the request has been emitted, relative to `status.icon`

  `keyboard.mode`

    `TRUE` if the tooltip was trigged using the keyboard

  `tooltip`

    a `GtkTooltip`

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  Returns: [logical] `TRUE` if `tooltip` should be shown right now, `FALSE` otherwise.

`scroll-event(status.icon, event, user.data)`

  The ::scroll-event signal is emitted when a button in the 4 to 7 range is pressed. Wheel mice are usually configured to generate button press events for buttons 4 and 5 when the wheel is turned.

  Whether this event is emitted is platform-dependent.

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal.

  `event`

    the `GdkEventScroll` which triggered this signal

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  Returns: [logical] `TRUE` to stop other handlers from being invoked for the event. `FALSE` to propagate the event further.

`size-changed(status.icon, size, user.data)`

  Gets emitted when the size available for the image changes, e.g. because the notification area got resized. Since 2.10

  `status.icon`

    the object which received the signal

  `size`

    the new size

  `user.data`

    user data set when the signal handler was connected.

  Returns: [logical] `TRUE` if the icon was updated for the new size. Otherwise, GTK+ will scale the icon as necessary.

### Properties

`blinking` [logical : Read / Write]

  Whether or not the status icon is blinking. Default value: FALSE

`embedded` [logical : Read]

  `TRUE` if the statusicon is embedded in a notification area. Default value: FALSE Since 2.12

`file` [character : * : Write]

  Filename to load and display. Default value: NULL

`gicon` [`GIcon` : * : Read / Write]

  The `GIcon` displayed in the `GtkStatusIcon`. For themed icons, the image will be updated automatically if the theme changes. Since 2.14

`has-tooltip` [logical : Read / Write]

  Enables or disables the emission of `"query-tooltip"` on `status.icon`. A value of `TRUE` indicates that `status.icon` can have a tooltip, in this case the status icon will be queried using `"query-tooltip"` to determine whether it will provide a tooltip or not.

  Note that setting this property to `TRUE` for the first time will change the event masks of the windows of this status icon to include leave-notify and motion-notify events. This will not be undone when the property is set to `FALSE` again.

  Whether this property is respected is platform dependent. For plain text tooltips, use `"tooltip-text"` in preference. Default value: FALSE Since 2.16

`icon-name` [character : * : Read / Write]

  The name of the icon from the icon theme. Default value: NULL

`orientation` [`GtkOrientation` : Read]

  The orientation of the tray in which the statusicon is embedded. Default value: GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL Since 2.12

`pixbuf` [`GdkPixbuf` : * : Read / Write]

  A GdkPixbuf to display.

`screen` [`GdkScreen` : * : Read / Write]

  The screen where this status icon will be displayed.

`size` [integer : Read]

  The size of the icon. Allowed values: >= 0 Default value: 0

`stock` [character : * : Read / Write]

  Stock ID for a stock image to display. Default value: NULL

`storage-type` [`GtkImageType` : Read]

  The representation being used for image data. Default value: GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY

`title` [character : * : Read / Write]

  The title of this tray icon. This should be a short, human-readable, localized string describing the tray icon. It may be used by tools like screen readers to render the tray icon. Default value: NULL Since 2.18

`tooltip-markup` [character : * : Read / Write]

  Sets the text of tooltip to be the given string, which is marked up with the Pango text markup language. Also see `gtkTooltipSetMarkup`.

  This is a convenience property which will take care of getting the tooltip shown if the given string is not `NULL`. `"has-tooltip"` will automatically be set to `TRUE` and the default handler for the `"query-tooltip"` signal will take care of displaying the tooltip.

  On some platforms, embedded markup will be ignored. Default value: NULL Since 2.16

`tooltip-text` [character : * : Read / Write]

  Sets the text of tooltip to be the given string.

  Also see `gtkTooltipSetText`.

  This is a convenience property which will take care of getting the tooltip shown if the given string is not `NULL`. `"has-tooltip"` will automatically be set to `TRUE` and the default handler for the `"query-tooltip"` signal will take care of displaying the tooltip.

  Note that some platforms have limitations on the length of tooltips that they allow on status icons, e.g. Windows only shows the first 64 characters. Default value: NULL Since 2.16

`visible` [logical : Read / Write]

  Whether or not the status icon is visible. Default value: TRUE
