How would a system tray application be accomplished on other platforms?

Question

Windows has the \"system tray\" that houses the clock and alway-running services like MSN, Steam, etc.

I\'d like to develop a wxPython tray application but I\'m wonderin

Answer 1

On Linux it really depends - you got diffrent programming environments there, and some window managers don't even have a tray area. Altho, if you use Gtk (and wx is Gtk really), the gtk.StatusIcon is your friend.

Here are some examples of that (haven't checked if they actually work, but should show you the path).

For wx I found some example code here.
