wxPython cross platform taskbar

[dirvine]

Hi All

Does anyone have any peice of wxPython code thats cross platform and
allows an app to be minimised in the system tray. I am hoping for
windows/kde/gnome/darwin if possible. I have been playing about and
have a couple of systems that nearly get there but not quite.

I would llike to create an app that does this in the way limewire/skype
etc. do it

Hope you can help
David

Heres sample code that nearly gets there I think - it appears to work
on ubuntu/gnome

import wx

ICON_STATE = 0
BLINK_STATE = 0

ID_ICON_TIMER = wx.NewId()

class TaskBarApp(wx.F rame):
def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
wx.Frame.__init __(self, parent, -1, title, size = (1, 1),
style=wx.FRAME_ NO_TASKBAR|wx.N O_FULL_REPAINT_ ON_RESIZE)
self.tbicon = wx.TaskBarIcon( )
icon = wx.Icon('yellow .ico', wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ ICO)
self.tbicon.Set Icon(icon, '')

self.OnTaskBarL eftDClick)
