wxPython cross platform taskbar

[dirvine]

Hi All

Does anyone have any peice of wxPython code thats cross platform and
allows an app to be minimised in the system tray. I am hoping for
windows/kde/gnome/darwin if possible. I have been playing about and
have a couple of systems that nearly get there but not quite.

I would llike to create an app that does this in the way limewire/skype
etc. do it

Hope you can help
David

Heres sample code that nearly gets there I think - it appears to work
on ubuntu/gnome

import wx

ICON_STATE = 0
BLINK_STATE = 0

ID_ICON_TIMER = wx.NewId()

class TaskBarApp(wx.Frame):
def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, -1, title, size = (1, 1),
style=wx.FRAME_NO_TASKBAR|wx.NO_FULL_REPAINT_ON_RE SIZE)
self.tbicon = wx.TaskBarIcon()
icon = wx.Icon('yellow.ico', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ICO)
self.tbicon.SetIcon(icon, '')

self.OnTaskBarLeftDClick)

self.tbicon.SetIcon(icon, 'Black')

class MyApp(wx.App):
def OnInit(self):
frame = TaskBarApp(None, -1, ' ')
frame.Center(wx.BOTH)
frame.Show(False)
return True

def main():

app.MainLoop()

if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
