single
activeCollab Status application

acstatus is app to display notificaitons from activeCollab status plugin. I wrote this app to personal usage but its pretty cool and worth to share. Written in C++ and requires QT libraries.

Application runs as systray process, (below image icons, second from the right)

Right click on the icon will give you Preferences Dialog with connection details.

Enable dbus notification. That’s mean you can use third party application to take over the notification such as mumbles.

Add mumbles plug-in to grab the message from dbus. Create acstatus.conf file and paste the content below into, then restart mumbles.

~/.mumbles/generic $ cat acstatus.conf
[acstatus]
interface	= com.acstatus.message
path		= /
signal		= acstatus
icon		= /usr/share/pixmaps/acstatus/mumble.png
striphtml	= false
launchmime	= false

That is pretty much it. To install on gentoo use my overlay
