GNOME3: Rythmbox to status area

[westand]

Per [http://blog.fpmurphy.com/2011/05/mor...ixzz1PPxHn1aZ]. You can force icons out of the pop-up notification area and force them to stick with the power/wireless/sound status icons.

This works fine for "pidgin", "skype", etc.

However, I cannot get it to work for "rhythmbox", even with the code below. Anyone have an idea what the issue is?

01	const Panel = imports.ui.panel;
02	const StatusIconDispatcher = imports.ui.statusIconDispatcher;
03	 
04	function main() {
05	 
06	    // add the notification(s) you want display on the top bar
07	    // - one per line. Use the english text string displayed when
08	    // hovering your mouse over the bottom right notification area
09	 
10	    StatusIconDispatcher.STANDARD_TRAY_ICON_IMPLEMENTATIONS['rhythmbox'] = 'rhythmbox';
11	    StatusIconDispatcher.STANDARD_TRAY_ICON_IMPLEMENTATIONS['Rhythmbox'] = 'Rhythmbox';
12	    StatusIconDispatcher.STANDARD_TRAY_ICON_IMPLEMENTATIONS['RhythmBox'] = 'RhythmBox';
13	 
14	}

I'm not sure about the method mentioned on that page but you can try this one out.

This provides an applet next to the clock which can control the music player. The default one is Banshee so change it in the preferences once you install.

Guys, are these mentioned in the Guides & Solutions Forum > Gnome3 Tweaks & Tips http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=263006 If not, you might want to post them there to help others.

Thanks, AceRoom, but I was just looking for the more lightweight status icon.

I have tried tacking a ".py" onto the end and many other combinations, but just can't get it to work.
