# parcimonie-applet(1p)

(deprecated) system tray applet for parcimonie

## NAME

parcimonie-applet - (deprecated) system tray applet for parcimonie

## DESCRIPTION

parcimonie-applet displays an icon in the "system tray" or "notification area", following the FreeDesktop System Tray Specification on X11. It may or may not work for you, depending on your desktop environment.

## DEPRECATION WARNING

The underlying technologies have been deprecated in GNOME 3 and GTK+ 3.14. The author of this applet does not use it anymore. Therefore, the author cannot support it and this applet will be removed from the parcimonie package at some point, unless someone takes over its maintenance.

### Future plans

*GNOME*

Modern GNOME technologies will be supported at some point, most likely in the form of a GNOME Shell extension; the exact user interactions have not been designed yet. For more details, see:

- https://bugs.debian.org/799942

  - https://bugs.debian.org/850217

  *Other desktop environments*

Ideally, someone should create an applet that works for non-GNOME users, possibly using the FreeDesktop Status Notifier Item specification. It would have to talk to the parcimonie daemon over D-Bus.
