I've had quite a few user requests to add a tray icon to EeePC ACPI Utilities. At first I didn't think that it would be a value-add, however now that I've received 10 or 20 requests for a tray icon, and since
there are hundreds of EeePC ACPI Utilities users, I decided that it was time. Keeping all of the goals of EeePC ACPI Utilities in mind, I wanted light weight, small execution footprint, and it had to be optional. In the process, I decided that I wanted to fully integrate it with the Gnome desktop. With a small set of requirements I set out to write the applet in Gtk# (learning Gtk# in the process). Over the last few days I have had quite a bit of feedback, and I've added many user requested features. At this time I'd like to announce the availability of the experimental applet to a broader audience.To install, simply 'apt-get install eeepc-tray' from the statux.org repository and click Applications ->
System Tools -> EeePC Tray. Additionally, the applet will autostart upon login configurable in Preferences -> Sessions.One thing that I'm looking for is a new tray icon. I've been working on a few, but I'm not the only user that will see it full time, so if you have an idea for an icon, please forward it to me. Before I release the first stable version, I will collect all of the icons (my own and all user submitted) and hold a poll to see who's icon will be the face of EeePC Tray!
NOTE: EeePC Tray is still experimental and under heavy development. While I will do everything possible to test for race conditions and memory leaks between releases, this applet is not yet considered stable.

Note: Eee PC Utilities have been superceded by Jupiter for Eeebuntu and Fedora. More information [ HERE ]
