This seems to be a bug in python-eggtrayicon: >>> import egg.trayicon, gtk >>> icon = egg.trayicon.TrayIcon("Foo") >>> img = gtk.Image() >>> img.set_from_file('gtimelog-small.png') >>> icon.add(img) >>> icon.show_all()
The same transparent png, when used with gtk.StatusIcon(), is properly transparent. >>> import gtk >>> icon = gtk.status_icon_new_from_file("gtimelog-small.png") ** Also affects: gnome-python-extras (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "eggtrayicon on the left, gtk.StatusIcon on the right" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-python-extras/+bug/644392/+attachment/1788353/+files/screenshot1.png ** Summary changed: - Tray UI glitch + Tray icon is not transparent when prefer_old_tray_icon = yes ** Summary changed: - Tray icon is not transparent when prefer_old_tray_icon = yes + Tray icon is not transparent when using python-eggtrayicon -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644392 Title: Tray icon is not transparent when using python-eggtrayicon -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
