Sets our main struct and passes it to the parent class.
Creates a status icon displaying a stock icon. Sample stock icon names are StockID.OPEN, StockID.QUIT. You can register your own stock icon names, see gtk_icon_factory_add_default() and gtk_icon_factory_add(). Since 2.10
Creates a status icon displaying an icon from the current icon theme. If the current icon theme is changed, the icon will be updated appropriately. Since 2.10
Creates an empty status icon object.
Creates a status icon displaying a #GIcon. If the icon is a themed icon, it will be updated when the theme changes.
Creates a status icon displaying @pixbuf.
Gets emitted when the user activates the status icon. If and how status icons can activated is platform-dependent.
The ::button-press-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.
The ::button-press-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is pressed.
The ::button-release-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.
The ::button-release-event signal will be emitted when a button (typically from a mouse) is released.
Gets emitted when the user brings up the context menu of the status icon. Whether status icons can have context menus and how these are activated is platform-dependent.
Emitted when the hover timeout has expired with the cursor hovering above @status_icon; or emitted when @status_icon got focus in keyboard mode.
The ::scroll-event signal is emitted when a button in the 4 to 7 range is pressed. Wheel mice are usually configured to generate button press events for buttons 4 and 5 when the wheel is turned.
The ::scroll-event signal is emitted when a button in the 4 to 7 range is pressed. Wheel mice are usually configured to generate button press events for buttons 4 and 5 when the wheel is turned.
Gets emitted when the size available for the image changes, e.g. because the notification area got resized.
Obtains information about the location of the status icon on screen. This information can be used to e.g. position popups like notification bubbles.
Retrieves the #GIcon being displayed by the #GtkStatusIcon. The storage type of the status icon must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_GICON (see gtk_status_icon_get_storage_type()). The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned #GIcon.
Returns the current value of the has-tooltip property. See #GtkStatusIcon:has-tooltip for more information.
Gets the name of the icon being displayed by the #GtkStatusIcon. The storage type of the status icon must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_ICON_NAME (see gtk_status_icon_get_storage_type()). The returned string is owned by the #GtkStatusIcon and should not be freed or modified.
Gets the #GdkPixbuf being displayed by the #GtkStatusIcon. The storage type of the status icon must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_PIXBUF (see gtk_status_icon_get_storage_type()). The caller of this function does not own a reference to the returned pixbuf.
Returns the #GdkScreen associated with @status_icon.
Gets the size in pixels that is available for the image. Stock icons and named icons adapt their size automatically if the size of the notification area changes. For other storage types, the size-changed signal can be used to react to size changes.
Get the main Gtk struct
Gets the id of the stock icon being displayed by the #GtkStatusIcon. The storage type of the status icon must be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY or %GTK_IMAGE_STOCK (see gtk_status_icon_get_storage_type()). The returned string is owned by the #GtkStatusIcon and should not be freed or modified.
Gets the type of representation being used by the #GtkStatusIcon to store image data. If the #GtkStatusIcon has no image data, the return value will be %GTK_IMAGE_EMPTY.
the main Gtk struct as a void*
Gets the title of this tray icon. See gtk_status_icon_set_title().
Gets the contents of the tooltip for @status_icon.
Gets the contents of the tooltip for @status_icon.
Returns whether the status icon is visible or not. Note that being visible does not guarantee that the user can actually see the icon, see also gtk_status_icon_is_embedded().
This function is only useful on the X11/freedesktop.org platform. It returns a window ID for the widget in the underlying status icon implementation. This is useful for the Galago notification service, which can send a window ID in the protocol in order for the server to position notification windows pointing to a status icon reliably.
Returns whether the status icon is embedded in a notification area.
Makes @status_icon display the file @filename. See gtk_status_icon_new_from_file() for details.
Makes @status_icon display the #GIcon. See gtk_status_icon_new_from_gicon() for details.
Makes @status_icon display the icon named @icon_name from the current icon theme. See gtk_status_icon_new_from_icon_name() for details.
Makes @status_icon display @pixbuf. See gtk_status_icon_new_from_pixbuf() for details.
Makes @status_icon display the stock icon with the id @stock_id. See gtk_status_icon_new_from_stock() for details.
Sets the has-tooltip property on @status_icon to @has_tooltip. See #GtkStatusIcon:has-tooltip for more information.
Sets the name of this tray icon. This should be a string identifying this icon. It is may be used for sorting the icons in the tray and will not be shown to the user.
Sets the #GdkScreen where @status_icon is displayed; if the icon is already mapped, it will be unmapped, and then remapped on the new screen.
Sets the title of this tray icon. This should be a short, human-readable, localized string describing the tray icon. It may be used by tools like screen readers to render the tray icon.
Sets @markup as the contents of the tooltip, which is marked up with the [Pango text markup language]PangoMarkupFormat.
Sets @text as the contents of the tooltip.
Shows or hides a status icon.
Menu positioning function to use with gtk_menu_popup() to position @menu aligned to the status icon @user_data.

Gets a D Object from the objects table of associations.
The notify signal is emitted on an object when one of its properties has been changed. Note that getting this signal doesn't guarantee that the value of the property has actually changed, it may also be emitted when the setter for the property is called to reinstate the previous value.
Find the #GParamSpec with the given name for an interface. Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().
Add a property to an interface; this is only useful for interfaces that are added to GObject-derived types. Adding a property to an interface forces all objects classes with that interface to have a compatible property. The compatible property could be a newly created #GParamSpec, but normally g_object_class_override_property() will be used so that the object class only needs to provide an implementation and inherits the property description, default value, bounds, and so forth from the interface property.
Lists the properties of an interface.Generally, the interface vtable passed in as @g_iface will be the default vtable from g_type_default_interface_ref(), or, if you know the interface has already been loaded, g_type_default_interface_peek().
Increases the reference count of the object by one and sets a callback to be called when all other references to the object are dropped, or when this is already the last reference to the object and another reference is established.
Adds a weak reference from weak_pointer to @object to indicate that the pointer located at @weak_pointer_location is only valid during the lifetime of @object. When the @object is finalized, @weak_pointer will be set to %NULL.
Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target. Whenever the @source_property is changed the @target_property is updated using the same value. For instance:
Complete version of g_object_bind_property().
Creates a binding between @source_property on @source and @target_property on @target, allowing you to set the transformation functions to be used by the binding.
This is a variant of g_object_get_data() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.
This is a variant of g_object_get_qdata() which returns a 'duplicate' of the value. @dup_func defines the meaning of 'duplicate' in this context, it could e.g. take a reference on a ref-counted object.
This function is intended for #GObject implementations to re-enforce a floating[floating-ref] object reference. Doing this is seldom required: all #GInitiallyUnowneds are created with a floating reference which usually just needs to be sunken by calling g_object_ref_sink().
Increases the freeze count on @object. If the freeze count is non-zero, the emission of "notify" signals on @object is stopped. The signals are queued until the freeze count is decreased to zero. Duplicate notifications are squashed so that at most one #GObject::notify signal is emitted for each property modified while the object is frozen.
Gets a named field from the objects table of associations (see g_object_set_data()).
Gets a property of an object. @value must have been initialized to the expected type of the property (or a type to which the expected type can be transformed) using g_value_init().
This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata().
Gets properties of an object.
Gets @n_properties properties for an @object. Obtained properties will be set to @values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.
Checks whether @object has a floating[floating-ref] reference.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property @property_name on @object.
Emits a "notify" signal for the property specified by @pspec on @object.
Increases the reference count of @object.
Increase the reference count of @object, and possibly remove the floating[floating-ref] reference, if @object has a floating reference.
Removes a reference added with g_object_add_toggle_ref(). The reference count of the object is decreased by one.
Removes a weak reference from @object that was previously added using g_object_add_weak_pointer(). The @weak_pointer_location has to match the one used with g_object_add_weak_pointer().
Compares the user data for the key @key on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.
Compares the user data for the key @quark on @object with @oldval, and if they are the same, replaces @oldval with @newval.
Releases all references to other objects. This can be used to break reference cycles.
Each object carries around a table of associations from strings to pointers. This function lets you set an association.
Like g_object_set_data() except it adds notification for when the association is destroyed, either by setting it to a different value or when the object is destroyed.
Sets a property on an object.
This sets an opaque, named pointer on an object. The name is specified through a #GQuark (retrived e.g. via g_quark_from_static_string()), and the pointer can be gotten back from the @object with g_object_get_qdata() until the @object is finalized. Setting a previously set user data pointer, overrides (frees) the old pointer set, using #NULL as pointer essentially removes the data stored.
This function works like g_object_set_qdata(), but in addition, a void (*destroy) (gpointer) function may be specified which is called with @data as argument when the @object is finalized, or the data is being overwritten by a call to g_object_set_qdata() with the same @quark.
Sets properties on an object.
Sets @n_properties properties for an @object. Properties to be set will be taken from @values. All properties must be valid. Warnings will be emitted and undefined behaviour may result if invalid properties are passed in.
Remove a specified datum from the object's data associations, without invoking the association's destroy handler.
This function gets back user data pointers stored via g_object_set_qdata() and removes the @data from object without invoking its destroy() function (if any was set). Usually, calling this function is only required to update user data pointers with a destroy notifier, for example: |[<!-- language="C" --> void object_add_to_user_list (GObject *object, const gchar *new_string) { // the quark, naming the object data GQuark quark_string_list = g_quark_from_static_string ("my-string-list"); // retrive the old string list GList *list = g_object_steal_qdata (object, quark_string_list);
Reverts the effect of a previous call to g_object_freeze_notify(). The freeze count is decreased on @object and when it reaches zero, queued "notify" signals are emitted.
Decreases the reference count of @object. When its reference count drops to 0, the object is finalized (i.e. its memory is freed).
This function essentially limits the life time of the @closure to the life time of the object. That is, when the object is finalized, the @closure is invalidated by calling g_closure_invalidate() on it, in order to prevent invocations of the closure with a finalized (nonexisting) object. Also, g_object_ref() and g_object_unref() are added as marshal guards to the @closure, to ensure that an extra reference count is held on @object during invocation of the @closure. Usually, this function will be called on closures that use this @object as closure data.
Adds a weak reference callback to an object. Weak references are used for notification when an object is finalized. They are called "weak references" because they allow you to safely hold a pointer to an object without calling g_object_ref() (g_object_ref() adds a strong reference, that is, forces the object to stay alive).
Removes a weak reference callback to an object.
Clears a reference to a #GObject.
The “system tray” or notification area is normally used for transient icons that indicate some special state. For example, a system tray icon might appear to tell the user that they have new mail, or have an incoming instant message, or something along those lines. The basic idea is that creating an icon in the notification area is less annoying than popping up a dialog.
A #GtkStatusIcon object can be used to display an icon in a “system tray”. The icon can have a tooltip, and the user can interact with it by activating it or popping up a context menu. Critical information should not solely be displayed in a #GtkStatusIcon, since it may not be visible (e.g. when the user doesn’t have a notification area on his panel). This can be checked with gtk_status_icon_is_embedded().
On X11, the implementation follows the FreeDesktop System Tray Specification. Implementations of the “tray” side of this specification can be found e.g. in the GNOME 2 and KDE panel applications.
Note that a GtkStatusIcon is not a widget, but just a #GObject. Making it a widget would be impractical, since the system tray on Win32 doesn’t allow to embed arbitrary widgets.
GtkStatusIcon has been deprecated in 3.14. You should consider using notifications or more modern platform-specific APIs instead. GLib provides the #GNotification API which works well with #GtkApplication. Also see this HowDoI.
