Ubuntu system tray / menu

Post by chadw »

Hello,

on MacOS X, SABnzbd comes with a nice menu which shows the current download speed.

Is there something similar for Linux / Unity desktop ?

Windows and OSX have a single UI, with an API that's stable over time.
There's no simple API to make something similar for Linux.

Ubuntu has appindicators:

And it's quite simple since even I managed to create an indicator and it was my first python script ever ;D . If I could get some time I'll try to make something for sab.

Currently I use this chrome extension instead of tray:

Interesting, but still limited to Ubuntu desktop users only.
Can you PM your example?
