Re: minimize licq to system tray

it looks the licq version wasn't compiled against --with-kde or any other configure options, that would support that. i was looking for something like this quite some time and will probably just use abs.

Re: minimize licq to system tray

While this isn't the case (as far as I know since I don't use the program), if it doesn't have native support built in AllTray has always worked well for me to shove things into a tray even if they weren't originally intended to do so.

Re: minimize licq to system tray

licq compiled without --with-kde
But it can be minimized, though.
I don't know exact english option names, but try
Licq -> settings -> (in bottom right corner) icons -> set first check (use icons) and last radio (small icons) buttons

Also, you can download PKGBUILD for "licq-be" package or try this PKGBUILD:

########################3
pkgname=licq-kde-gui
pkgver=1.3.4
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="KDE user interface plugin for Licq"
arch=(i686)
url="http://www.licq.org"
depends=('licq')
source=(http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/licq/licq-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=('3bab0c9d1977f9b14421d36110e17e0c')

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/licq-$pkgver

  # KDE-gui is a variant of Qt-gui
  cd plugins/qt-gui
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-kde
  make || return 1
  cd po
  lrelease *.ts || return 1
  cd -
  make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install
  find $startdir/pkg -name "*.la" -exec rm -f {} ;
  rm -rf $startdir/pkg/usr/share
}

########################

then do "makepkg" and install package
then exit from licq and edit ~/.licq/licq.conf - replace "qt-gui" on "kde-gui" (you cannot just change it from licq gui because you need to unload this gui first)

Re: minimize licq to system tray

actually a modified version of the abs packages works just fine, and you can't minimize licq into the kde tray, if it's built --without-kde (which it is).

Re: minimize licq to system tray

eNTi,
Then explain, how did i minimize it? Standard licq, from pacman -S licq 
Moreover, in /var/abs/extra/network/licq/PKGBUILD is no --without-kde, as no --with-kde too.
