System Tray

[realg187]

If a windows app makes a system try icons [ex. winzip, even though there are probbly zip apps for linux, or the WinAmp agent] will wine let this happen? Is there a system tray on linux?


The "Driver" for my Wirless Keyboard and Mouse use those:

No dirver needed, there is an app they call a driver which displays battery power for the mouse and keyboard, and it also tells u if caps lock is on, etc for the keyboard, to get this info i click on the picture of a mouse/keyboard in my system tray...

Take a look at the Wine FAQ (question 2.4 - last paragraph):

http://www2.winehq.org/site/docs/wine-faq/index

If you are considering running Wine, the FAQ will probably answer any other Wine questions you might have.

BTW, you can't install Windows drivers with WINE

THis makes me uneasy:

2.2. Does Wine emulate a full computer?

No




But this part says that out of the what is still emulated there is a tray:

Wine also gives much better desktop integration - for instance, programs use your standard window manager, system tray icons will appear in your tray area (if you have one),

And win even amkes it faster? Cool!

What do u mean by dirvers, like *.drv or sys?

Cuz my drivers arent really drivrs at all I think they are EXes that make a system tray icon, I can still use my hardware but I cant find out battery power or other status, they even work in my PCs bios or in DOS/Boot CDs.

How ever I have an issue w/ DSL:
