Re: Icon generation on the fly

None :)

You can write text in the trayicon , they're not limited to images (though some perl modules you may have chosen may appear to be limited to icons, only because they're written that way); you're not limited to baloons

Gtk2::TrayIcon ought to work for you

No Gtk2 for godness' sake. Apart from this I'm interested in icon generation with some algorythm rather than drawing it by hand.	[reply]

No Gtk2 for godness' sake. Why, its a finished and working solution, no need to reimplement. Apart from this I'm interested in icon generation with some algorythm rather than drawing it by hand. Sure you're not :) GD,Imager, ImageMagick, Image::TextMode ...	[reply]
