====== Status Notifier Plugin ======

===== About =====

This plugin provides a panel area for status notifier items (application indicators). Applications may use these items to display their status and interact with user. This technology is a modern alternative to systray and has the [[https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/|freedesktop.org specification]].

===== Usage =====

  * Compile or install xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin
  * Right-click the panel → Add New Items

===== Troubleshooting =====

==== Plugin Doesn't Show Any Items ====

There is already a running service which works with status notifier items. Most probably it's the indicator-application service which is used by xfce4-indicator-plugin. Make sure this service is not running: remove this indicator from xfce4-indicator-plugin and remove the service from autostart.

===== Dependencies =====

  * gio-2.0
  * libxfce4ui
  * libxfce4util-2
  * libxfce4-panel-2.0
