Currently, only an X11 implementation is available\n(which uses the [FreeDesktop.org System Tray Protocol](http://standards.freedesktop.org/systemtray-spec/systemtray-spec-latest.html)), and the\nfeatures are very limited.\n\n## Usage\n\nCopy the sample configuration file `lgmtray.sample_config`, rename\nit to `~/.lgmtray`, and edit it to reflect your username/password and \npreferences. Then, simply run the application by calling `lgmtray`.\n\n## Building\n\nFirst, make sure you have the necessary libraries installed. LGMTray currently needs the following libraries:\n\n- [libcurl](http://curl.haxx.se) (with OpenSSL support)\n- [libxml2](http://xmlsoft.org/)\n- libxpm\n- Xlib (ships with your X installation)\n\nTo build the project, run\n\n\t\tmake\n\nIf you have a special system setup, you should edit `Makefile.config`\nto reflect this in the build parameters.\n\n## Known Issues\n\nOn one of my machines, Curl crashes very regularly with a SIGPIPE when opening\na connection. I have reported this to the Curl developers, but no cause has\nbeen found so far. As a workaround, LGMTray currently ignores SIGPIPE signals,\nand continues as normal. This should have no visual impact, except log\nmessages saying that there was a problem, and that the application continues\nanyway.\n\n## TODO\n- Allow the background of the tray to be transparent, taking the system \n  tray's background color.\n- Make the check interval dynamic, where mail is checked more frequently \n  after new mail has arrived, less frequently when there is no mouse \n\tmovement, ...\n- Open GMail when the icon is clicked\n- Add a tooltip and a context menu\n\n## Links\n\n- [Official GMail notifier](http://toolbar.google.com/toolbar/gmail-helper/): Works only on Windows and Mac OS X.\n- [GMail Notifier](http://gmail-notify.sourceforge.net/): Written in \n\tPython, but has dependencies on several add-on Python modules (e.g. Gtk).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fremko%2Flgmtray","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fremko%2Flgmtray","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fremko%2Flgmtray/lists"}
