Status Notifier Plugin

About

Usage

  • Compile or install xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin
  • Right-click the panel → Add New Items
  • Add the Status Notifier Plugin

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
