The Ayatana Indicators project is the continuation of Application Indicators
|
||
|
and System Indicators, two technologies developed by Canonical Ltd. for the
|
||
|
Unity7 desktop.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Application Indicators are a GTK implementation of the StatusNotifierItem
|
||
|
Specification (SNI) that was originally submitted to freedesktop.org by KDE.
|
||
|
|
||
|
System Indicators are an extensions to the Application Indicators idea.
|
||
|
System Indicators allow for far more widgets to be displayed in the
|
||
|
indicator's menu.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Ayatana Indicators project is the new upstream for application
|
||
|
indicators, system indicators and associated projects with a focus on making
|
||
|
Ayatana Indicators a desktop agnostic technology.
|
||
|
|
||
|
On GNU/Linux, Ayatana Indicators are currently available for desktop
|
||
|
envinronments like MATE (used by default in Ubuntu MATE), XFCE
|
||
|
(used by default in Xubuntu, LXDE, and the Budgie Desktop).
|
||
|
|
||
|
The Lomiri Operating Environment (UI of the Ubuntu Touch OS, formerly known as
|
||
|
Unity8) uses Ayatana Indicators for rendering its notification area and the
|
||
|
UBports project is a core contributor to the Ayatana Indicators project.
