Tray icon for linux app

[Frank78]

I don't know if this has been asked before, but I really need your help. I'm trying to create a linux system tray icon for an application that I am going to make in labview 2010. I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to do this, and if you could give me some examples, I would really appreciate it.

I am using Lubuntu 14.04.

Thanks.

Exactly the same question as http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Tray-Icons-in-Linux/td-p/3108845

Are you the same user with a different profile?

[Frank78]

no. I am not that person.

Classmates then?

In any case, there doesn't seem to be any response in that thread. Try a Linux board.

The thing is I need to do it in labview, and I really don't know if I will get any response there.
Thanks for your help.

You have an exe that you want to place in the system tray. I'm not sure whether it matters that it was created with LabVIEW. You haven't tried very hard, like some of your other threads.

So, if you are two different people, why hijack the others thread.

Sorry. I just need help in doing this app. It is my fist time working with LabVIEW in linux. I just don't know how to do these things. That is why I am asking for help.
Thanks again.

This is not LabVIEW specific at all. And it is something which is very distribution specific. You have an executable for which you want to have an icon added to some place in your Linux desktop. Research for your Linux distribution and version how to do that for a generic executable and you know how to do it for LabVIEW too.If you want to automate it you will have to write some shell scripts for sure. Again nothing to do with LabVIEW at all.
