Ruby systray application support

dtw · 2007-02-17 15:10:15

I am currently learning ruby and I have an idea for my first application. However, as it is a very simple project, it will be a little systray application. However, as far as I can tell, ruby doesn't have a lot of support for sys tray applications, and most apps with systray implementation that I know have been created in python.

Any advice?

Write in Qt4? </troll>

dtw.
first you need to know which graphical toolkit you are going to be using.
qt, gtk, or perhaps wxWidgets?

Whichever one you choose, will largely dictate how the systray functionality is achieved (ie. different toolkits handle it differently)...

Oh, it'll def be GTK+, I neglected to mention that before. Sorry.
