Bagaimana cara membuat indikator Unity?

Saya tertarik dengan indikator Unity dan bertanya-tanya apakah ada tutorial tentang cara memprogramnya. Saya dapat menggunakan sumber-sumber yang ada sebagai pilihan terakhir, tetapi saya lebih suka pendekatan yang lebih ramah karena keterampilan pemrograman saya sangat terbatas.

Dokumentasi Indikator Aplikasi dengan contoh dan dokumen API tersedia di sini:

• https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators , rujukan APInya adalah HTML dalam libappindicator-docpaket. (Terima kasih @Sneetsher)
• http://developer.ubuntu.com/apps (rusak)

Belum ada tutorial tentang Indikator Aplikasi di sana, tetapi tetap ikuti perkembangan untuk konten lainnya di bagian tutorial situs Pengembang Aplikasi:

• http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/app-developer-cookbook/all-recipes/ (rusak)

Berikut adalah contoh indikator aplikasi dalam C. Ini adalah versi "indikator saja" (tanpa jendela) dari contoh yang disediakan di Wiki Ubuntu :

#include <libappindicator/app-indicator.h>

static void activate_action (GtkAction *action);

static GtkActionEntry entries[] = {
    {"New",  "document-new",     "_New",  "<control>N",
        "Create a new file",    G_CALLBACK(activate_action)},
    {"Open", "document-open",    "_Open", "<control>O",
        "Open a file",          G_CALLBACK(activate_action)},
    {"Save", "document-save",    "_Save", "<control>S",
        "Save file",            G_CALLBACK(activate_action)},
    {"Quit", "application-exit", "_Quit", "<control>Q",
        "Exit the application", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit)},
};
static guint n_entries = G_N_ELEMENTS(entries);

static const gchar *ui_info =
"<ui>"
"  <popup name='IndicatorPopup'>"
"    <menuitem action='New' />"
"    <menuitem action='Open' />"
"    <menuitem action='Save' />"
"    <menuitem action='Quit' />"
"  </popup>"
"</ui>";

static void activate_action(GtkAction *action)
{
    const gchar *name = gtk_action_get_name (action);
    GtkWidget *dialog;

    dialog = gtk_message_dialog_new(NULL,
                                    GTK_DIALOG_DESTROY_WITH_PARENT,
                                    GTK_MESSAGE_INFO,
                                    GTK_BUTTONS_CLOSE,
                                    "You activated action: \"%s\"",
                                    name);

    g_signal_connect(dialog, "response", 
                     G_CALLBACK(gtk_widget_destroy), NULL);

    gtk_widget_show(dialog);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    GtkWidget*      indicator_menu;
    GtkActionGroup* action_group;
    GtkUIManager*   uim;
    AppIndicator* indicator;
    GError* error = NULL;

    gtk_init(&argc, &argv);

    /* Menus */
    action_group = gtk_action_group_new("AppActions");
    gtk_action_group_add_actions(action_group, entries, n_entries,
                                 NULL);

    uim = gtk_ui_manager_new();
    gtk_ui_manager_insert_action_group(uim, action_group, 0);

    if (!gtk_ui_manager_add_ui_from_string(uim, ui_info, -1, &error)) {
        g_message("Failed to build menus: %s\n", error->message);
        g_error_free(error);
        error = NULL;
    }

    /* Indicator */
    indicator = app_indicator_new("example-simple-client",
                                  "go-jump",
                                  APP_INDICATOR_CATEGORY_APPLICATION_STATUS);

    indicator_menu = gtk_ui_manager_get_widget(uim, "/ui/IndicatorPopup");

    app_indicator_set_status(indicator, APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ACTIVE);
    app_indicator_set_attention_icon(indicator, "indicator-messages-new");

    app_indicator_set_menu(indicator, GTK_MENU(indicator_menu));

    gtk_main();

    return 0;
}

Saya melakukan tutorial singkat di sini untuk membuat indikator aplikasi stop watch dengan python: http://www.steshadoku.com/blog/2017/elapses-creating-a-unity-stopwatch-indicator-w-python/

      ind.set_label(str(timedelta(seconds=savetime)))
      return True

    exit.show()
    menu.append(exit)

    ind.set_menu(menu) #set the menu with added items
