activeCollab Status application

acstatus is app to display notifications 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 sys tray process.

Right click on the icon will give you Settings Dialog.

! above screen-shots comes from acstatus-2.0 version currently not available.

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
