Clear message

Until mid-2011, we will use this page to track programs running on Ubuntu that need adjusting for the notification area transition (as we did for Notify OSD). This is so we can easily compare proposed design solutions, and assemble guidelines on how developers should alter any other programs. Once we’ve done that, we’ll retire this page.

How you can help

  • For each program listed here that doesn’t have any issues described, examine it to see where it uses or refers to the notification area (or “tray”). For each place where it does, add a row describing it. If it doesn’t, write in “(none)” followed by your wiki signature (so we know who reviewed it).
  • For each issue, ensure a bug is reported about it, and link to the bug report.
  • For each bug report, ensure that it’s tagged with the “trayaway” tag.

  • Help fix the bugs. Smile :-)
