[SOLVED] Orage icon (with date) not shown anymore in the system tray

lalesculiviu · 2025-01-20 19:03:58

Dear XFCE community,

Everything about XFCE and its programs is great!

But I have this problem when I upgraded my system (I use openSUSE Tumbleweed and update it frequently. I suspect my problem is because of the new XFCE 4.20): The Orage (loaded at startup hidden) does not show anymore its icon in the system tray.

Thank you!

Can you post the ouput of:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -lv

...as well as run xfce4-panel in debug mode and post back the output?

xfce4-panel -q
PANEL_DEBUG=1 xfce4-panel

loaded at startup hidden

What does this mean?

By hidden I mean in the Orage Preferences, Calendar Window, Calendar Start -> Hide (not Show or Minimized).

The panel plugin has bee deprecated. However, you can integrate orage with the clock plugin - see: https://docs.xfce.org/apps/orage/panel_integration.

Or you can manually run "orage -t" to toggle its visibility.

Thank you, ToZ! It runs in the clock plugin.

Hello again,

I have one more question/report: The old-style Orage system tray icon allowed me to hover the cursor and it told me the next 5 alarms. Is it possible to do this now, with the new functionality?
