QSystemTrayIcon selected / active icon

isoiphone

Hello,

I'm using a QSystemTrayIcon on OS/X for my app (QT 5.0.2)

The standard behaviour for apps is to have the icon change when the menu bar icon is selected (usually to an inverted white icon). I can't seem to get this to work. Am I missing something?

I've tried setting the QIcon::Selected and QIcon::Active modes of my icon to no effect.

@
icon.addFile(":/tray-online.png", QSize(), QIcon::Normal);
icon.addFile(":/tray-online-selected.png", QSize(), QIcon::Selected);
icon.addFile(":/tray-online-selected.png", QSize(), QIcon::Active);

...

trayIcon = new QSystemTrayIcon(this);
trayIcon->setIcon(icon);
...
@
(The QIcon::Normal icon is always displayed)

Googling all I could turn up was a merge request from 2009 supposedly adding this behaviour.

You can get the event on which type of click event was on the item, once you have that, you can set the proper icon you want. Here's what I use when implementing a tray icon and using a menu:

@
// setup actions
showAction = new QAction(tr("&Show"), this);
connect(showAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(showActionClicked()));
configureAction = new QAction(tr("&Configure"), this);
connect(configureAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(configureActionClicked()));
quitAction = new QAction(tr("&Quit"), this);
connect(quitAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this, SLOT(quitActionClicked()));

// create icon menu
trayIconMenu = new QMenu(this);
trayIconMenu->setWindowTitle("Quick Launch Menu");
trayIconMenu->addAction(showAction);
trayIconMenu->addSeparator();
trayIconMenu->addAction(configureAction);
trayIconMenu->addSeparator();
trayIconMenu->addAction(quitAction);

// create icon
trayIcon = new QSystemTrayIcon(this);
connect(trayIcon, SIGNAL(activated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason)), this, SLOT(iconActivated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason)));
trayIcon->setIcon(QIcon(":/images/images/mainicon.png"));
trayIcon->setContextMenu(trayIconMenu);
trayIcon->show();

@

your slot on click
@
/*
// icon activated (private slot)
*/
void SystemTrayIcon::iconActivated(QSystemTrayIcon::ActivationReason reason)
{
// check the activate reason
switch (reason) {
// double click
case QSystemTrayIcon::DoubleClick: {
trayIconMenu->popup(QCursor::pos());
break;
}
// default...break
case QSystemTrayIcon::Trigger:
case QSystemTrayIcon::MiddleClick:
default:
break;
}
}
@

Do what you want on your click event.

I've hacked a workaround in place for now.
It seems like a bug that the correct icon mode isn't used to draw. I'll open a ticket on this later.

For now I'm just manually changing icon on events as suggested above.

@
void TrayWidget::createTrayIcon()
{
..
connect(trayIconMenu, &QMenu::aboutToHide, this, &TrayWidget::menuAboutToHide);
connect(trayIconMenu, &QMenu::aboutToShow, this, &TrayWidget::menuAboutToShow);
..
}

void TrayWidget::menuAboutToShow()
{
if (trayIcon->icon().name() == icons[Icon_Online].name()) {
trayIcon->setIcon(icons[Icon_Online_Selected]);
}
}

void TrayWidget::menuAboutToHide()
{
if (trayIcon->icon().name() == icons[Icon_Online_Selected].name()) {
trayIcon->setIcon(icons[Icon_Online]);
}
}
