These files have to have -the same name as the well-known D-Bus name that the corresponding service -owns. - -An indicator file is a normal key file (like desktop files). It must have -an `[Indicator Service]` section, that must contain the service's name (`Name`) -and the object path at which its action group is found (`ObjectPath`). For -example: - - [Indicator Service] - Name=indicator-example - ObjectPath=/org/ayatana/indicator/example - -It should also contain a hint to where the indicator should appear in the panel: - - Position=70 - -The smaller the position, the further to the right (or left when RTL is -enabled) the indicator appears. - -An indicator can only export one action group, but a menu for each profile -("desktop", "greeter", "phone") supports. There must be a section for each -of those profiles, containing the object path on which the menu is -exported: - - [desktop] - ObjectPath=/org/ayatana/indicator/example/desktop - - [greeter] - ObjectPath=/org/ayatana/indicator/example/desktop - - [phone] - ObjectPath=/org/ayatana/indicator/example/phone - -Object paths can be reused for different profiles (the greeter uses the -same menu as the desktop in the above example). - -There are no fallbacks. If a profile is not mentioned in the service file, -the indicator will not show up for that profile. |
