Description: The newer version of patch Multirow notification area for 2.28.0 gnome-panel (karmic koala)
The original text here: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Multirow+notification+area?content=106858
for ubuntus: sudo -i cd /tmp apt-get build-dep gnome-panel apt-get source gnome-panel cd gnome-panel-2.28.0
(download patch file to that dir and rename it if downoad have another name) zcat na-tray-multirow-2.28.0.patch.gz | patch -p1 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b cd .. dpkg -i *.deb pkill -9 gnome-panel
done!
Also you can change patch contents to change icon sizes (the default is 16px)
Find the line in patch + gtk_icon_size_lookup ( GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU , &w, &h);
and change GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU to GTK_ICON_SIZE_BUTTON for 24 px or GTK_ICON_SIZE_DND for 32px
hi,
and first of all thanks for this patch, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time (I use a taskbar with 2 rows, 48 pixels high, and the notification area icons get huge...)
So now, after building the patched .deb and installing on Karmic, I have the effect that the icons tend to overlap - I start with the battery and wifi icon, properly in two rows. I open MeTV, now I have only one row and the MeTV icon is behind the wifi icon on the right. I quit MeTv (right clicking on the 4 pixels that I can see below the wifi icon) and the battery and wifi icon are on top of each other. Scaling the panel to 47 pixels fixes everything again. I suspect some redraw methods don't know about the multi-row feature yet - is this possible? any other idea?
any help would be appreciated!
thanks!
Chris
