Gmailtray-0.9 tray icon with 'new Gmails' tooltip & sound.
Posted: Mon 02 Aug 2010, 22:50
Version 0.9
2 Small changes.
Left click on icon launches default browser straight into Gmail window.
Right click menu has option to do same.
Version 0.8
Quick update.
Added 'Play' button to Sound Choice combo window to preview and set the sound.
The first option in Sound Choice combo window is OFF, obviously this turns off the notification.
Version 0.7
Right click menu has a choice of sounds to play when mail count changes from previous.
If you delete some mails from server it will reset the count when it next checks mail.
Version 0.6
Just for fun I added a mail notification sound & sound library.
It will announce once when you have new mail as an update.
The sound file called is 'newmail.wav' and there is a small library of sound files in /usr/local/Gmailtray/sounds, the female voice is nice
If you click on them in turn to try out and then rename the one you want to use it will obviously call that.
TO DO later:
Add a menu choice for the sound file to use.
Sound On/Off facility.
Version 0.5
Tooltip mails subjects now is up to last 3 received in correct order.
In it's current state it will not startup on boot, there is a script file missing. I've added it below, just place in /usr/local/Gmailtray and click on it.
Version 0.4
Now has option to change check mail interval in 1 minute increments up to 30 minutes.
The tooltip now shows subject of last 3 mails in tooltip also.
----------------------------------
This is a tray icon which checks Gmail or Googlemail approx every 5 minutes for new mails. There is also a menu option to check immediately.
Mails which are 'read' do not show in count, only new mails.
Important: To run first time :-
Install the pet.
Gmailtray setup will start, enter your Gmail or Googlemail user name and password, select button as appropriate and click 'apply'
Restart Gmailtray from Main/Internet menu as per above.
That's it, tray will show a yellow envelope icon with a hover over tooltip "New Mails = 0" or a green open envelope with a "Mails = number" if you have mails waiting. Version 4 shows subject of last 3 mails.
There is a right click menu option to start the default email program to read them and an option to check for mails immediately.
Feedback would be appreciated.
Version 0.3 Major revision
Cleared two small bugs.
I'm very pleased with this. Lots of work and code gone into it.
Now all is in the binary except 3 small user generated files at runtime.
Password is encrypted in file.
New icons for tray:-
Yellow envelope means no mails.
Opened green envelope means mail waiting.
Small icon change in menu.
No echoeing in terminal.[/u]
