Gtk::StatusIcon system tray alignment issues

I'm creating a Gtk::StatusIcon object from a PNG file but the system tray icon displays in the center of the system tray.

How can I get this system tray icon alignment over to the right side by default. I've looked at the GTK::StatusIcon API but did not see anything.

Glib::RefPtr<Gtk::StatusIcon> m_status_icon;
m_status_icon = Gtk::StatusIcon::create_from_file("icon.png");

I'm developing on Ubuntu 18.04 using gtkmm-3.0.

Solution

  • From the official documentation, this does not seem possible in Gtkmm, or GTK+ (nothing in the API gives you such control). Also, note that Gtk::StatusIcon is deprecated in favor of plateform specific APIs.
