i have a very simple pystray program wich simply generates an image from a number and displays it in the tray however when using pyinstaller to compile it wich works with no errors. Then when i run it i get the error
Traceback (most recent call last):

The error flashes up quickly the dissapears so ive tried my best to copy it down.
I am using windows 10 64 bit python 3.7 and pystray 0.16.0.
I have checked the site-packages folder and _win32 is there and i have pywin32 installed and the code works perfectly when not compiled. Any help would be appreciated
On calling the method pystray.MenuItem() with the argument submenu one would get the following error:
TypeError: init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'submenu'
I have taken a look in the file _base.py which implements the above mentioned method and could not find any argument with the name submenu. Also there is no place where the method submenu is called...
Maybe this is also a misunderstanding but with the documentation I am not able to get this to work.
_util.win32pystray never checks if the imported Gtk-class works like it tries in the xorg-class.
This means that projects like FlexGet crashes running headless on a machine where Gtk3 is installed: Flexget/Flexget#2633
The following logic is tested on both headless and desktop system.
The code however is only tested with flexget on a headless system.
So not proposed, needs more testing.

Finally: I've got a PR for this: #10
I put a pystray icon in my class:
import pystray
from PIL import Image
class MyIcon(object):
def __init__(self):
self.ico = Image.new('RGB', (16, 16), 'green')
self.menu = pystray.Menu(pystray.MenuItem('Quit', self.quit))

def run(self):
self.icon.run()
def quit(self, icon, item):

myico.run()
I got an error on execution. It seems I cannot put bounded class method in the menu.

self.icon.stop()
The icon can be started on the tray, but once the quit menu is clicked an exception raise showing that my quit() method got too many arguments

So, is there a way to make pystray working with my class?
Is there any way to update the icon while its running? I've tried so hard but couldn't find any way to update it. I'm currently trying to code a CPU indicator. Here's my code:
import psutil
import pystray
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
from threading import Thread
font = ImageFont.truetype('arial.ttf', 75)
def setup(icon):
icon.visible = True
def exit_action(icon):
icon.visible = False
icon.stop()
def refresh_images():
global blue_img
blue_img = Image.new('RGB', (100, 100), color=(0, 0, 255))
global red_img
red_img = Image.new('RGB', (100, 100), color=(255, 0, 0))
def decide_bg(usage):
if usage > 60:
return red_img
else:
return blue_img
def decide_coords(usage):
if usage < 10:
return (32, 5)
elif usage == 100:
return (0, 5)
else:
return (5, 5)
def init_icon():
usage = int(psutil.cpu_percent(interval=1))
refresh_images()
image = decide_bg(usage)
coords = decide_coords(usage)
d = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
d.text(coords, str(usage), font=font, fill=(255, 255, 255))
icon = pystray.Icon("usage", icon=image, title="CPU Usage")
icon.menu = pystray.Menu(pystray.MenuItem('Exit', lambda : exit_action(icon)))
icon.run()
thread = Thread(daemon=True, target=init_icon())
Simply, I need to find a way to update the icon each second, to be able to show the current CPU usage. I'm quite new to Python and I'd truly appreciate some help. Thanks in advance.
Hello, Moses!
I've been developing on pystray for a little bit now and was excited to see the additions of notifications! That being said, I've tried to display one on Windows 10 (Notifications enabled) and HAS_NOTIFICATION is returning false! My code is below, perhaps I'm approaching it wrong?

Help me , please , to find the proper pair of pystray/PIL version working on WinXPsp3 with Python 3.4 !
...'cause I'he got WinError messages - a lot. I'he tried to 'fix' the problem modifying lines in _win32.py module . Like this:

icon.menu.items is tuple type. How can i change items title? I need to update the title items in the process of running my application
update_menu is meant to be called from the setup thread, but is currently unsafe to use on macOS/win32, since the main thread may be updating the menu at the same time. In addition, Cocoa requires that UI functions be called from the main thread.
Both implementations of _update_menu need to be changed to pass a message to the main thread, and do the real menu updates there.
macOS has similar problems with update_icon and update_title, and the win32 update_icon implementation should be reviewed as well (update_icon looks safe).
#59 fixed this for the GTK backend.
Hi, first thanks for this easy to use tray icon!
I'm not sure if this is a bug or I didn't understand the parameter for name and title.
But if I hover over the icon, it only shows the name of the file not the title or name I assigned in the icon function.
I'm running KDE 5 and I forced to import Icon from _gtk (When using ._appindicator the default click won't work).
Thanks.
Hi.
Although one menu item of mine has the default flag set, nothing happens when I click on the icon.
I construct it like so:
menu = (item(localize('Open Type.World App'), openApp, default=True), item(localize('Check for font updates now'), checkForUpdates))
icon = pystray.Icon("Type.World", image, "Type.World", menu)Is more code needed? This is how I understood it works.
(The default menu item does get rendered in bold in the menu, so something is happening for sure)
Hi,
I have a Menu as below for "Login". When the variable "loggedin" changes to True, neither with nor without update_menu(), the menu is not changing to "Logout". Any ideas please?
def on_monitor(icon, item):
global state,loggedin
state = not item.checked
url = 'www.example.com'
webbrowser.open_new_tab(url + '?i=' + str(uuid.uuid4()) )
print("Waiting for login to complete")
loggedin = True
print("Logged In",icon.update_menu())
icon = pystray.Icon('Sample',title="Icons",menu=Menu(
MenuItem(('Logout' if loggedin else 'Login'),on_monitor),
MenuItem('Settings',on_settings),
MenuItem('Sync',on_sync,checked=lambda item: state1),
MenuItem('Exit',on_exit,checked=lambda item: state2)))
Hi, I'm trying the next example, taken from here, and when I click the icon, the menu is not appearing. I have also try some very simple variation, but I don't know why the menu doesn't appear. I don't see any errors in my terminal, seems to be running fine. I've checked the documentation, but it seems like it should work right away.
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
from pystray import Icon, Menu as menu, MenuItem as item
def image(color1, color2, width=64, height=64):
result = Image.new('RGB', (width, height), color1)
dc = ImageDraw.Draw(result)
dc.rectangle((width // 2, 0, width, height // 2), fill=color2)
dc.rectangle((0, height // 2, width // 2, height), fill=color2)
return result

Love this library, have just used it to speed up my development of a project. That said there are some holes in the submenu documentation. I understand you have no obligation to fix this, just thought I would put this forward for you to change at your discretion.
Submenus could use some clarification. I think it should be mentioned that you have to pass a Menu object in as the action of a menu item. Also adding submenu example code would be nice.
Hi,
When I use xorg tray icon, there is system tray icon but only with 1 pixel width. After digging I found that xembed windows with systray icon should contain size hints, something like
window.set_wm_normal_hints(
flags=(Xlib.Xutil.PPosition | Xlib.Xutil.PSize | Xlib.Xutil.PMinSize),
min_width=24,
min_height=24
)
On Gtk icon. In you documentation is firstly created Icon() object without icon, which is set latter:
import pystray
icon = pystray.Icon('test name')
image = ...
icon.icon = imageThis doesn't work (systray icon is not shown), because icon is not really set (_update_icon()) while visible is False, but one cannot set visible to True, until some image data are provided. Documentation tells to call show(), but Icon object has not show() method.
All works as expected, when i pass image into constructor, or when i set image twice, eg.::
icon.icon = image
icon.visible = True
icon.icon = imageor when i call _update:icon():
icon.icon = image
icon.visible = True
icon._update_icon()Both workarounds are ugly.
I tried the following code:
import pystray
import sys
import time
from PIL import Image
from pystray import Menu, MenuItem
def exit_action(icon):
icon.visible = False
sys.exit(0)
def init_icon():
icon = pystray.Icon('mon')
icon.menu = Menu(
MenuItem('Exit', lambda : exit_action(icon)),
)
icon.icon = Image.open('icon.ico')
icon.title = 'tooltip'
def setup(icon):
icon.visible = True
icon.run(setup)
return icon
icon = init_icon()
while True:
time.sleep(5)
When I click on Exit menu item from the system tray menu Python shows exception instead of termination of the program:
An error occurred when calling message handler

After the exception the Python instance is still hanging in the task manager.
So how to terminate a program from the system tray menu?

Whether this particular implementation has a default action that can be invoked in a special way, such as clicking on the icon.

I would like to run update_menu() when the menu is opened.
I'm using a few of the menu items purely to display data - one of them is a filesize indicator. Currently the best way I've found is to just update the data every few seconds, but this isn't ideal and causes some responsiveness issues.
Is there an easy way of doing this?
The code in https://pystray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#displaying-notifications provokes an error on Mate Desktop:
AttributeError: 'Icon' object has no attribute 'remove_notification'
Maybe this is a bug?

Hi,
can you please add to the readme which operating systems are supported? Thanks
Hello,
I am using pystray to show an icon on my desktop this icon has a Menu that has two MenuItems, My purpose is how to get text of clicked MenuItem.
thank you for help
Hi, it will be possible to add scroll possibilities over the tray icon? Like when you use your mouse wheel to scroll up over icon, then you volume goes up ... ect. Thanks for answer.
I get following error in making a windows app.
def setup(icon):
icon.visible = True
File "pystray_base.pyo", line 153, in visible

Anyone faced this before?
Hello Moses,
Thanks for new addition to pystray, I appreciate your work,
I already put "pystray" in latest version of my application "PyIDM", everything works great
I downloaded pystray from github and used the example you supplied but couldn't display notification, maybe i am doing something wrong
I am running windows 8-32 bit with python 3.6-32 bit
I am not expert in win32 API, but I think there is something mentioned in plyer balloon tip notification regarding registering a class first
here is plyer balloontip.py link:
https://github.com/kivy/plyer/blob/master/plyer/platforms/win/libs/balloontip.py
Also plyer has managed to send notification in linux too, if somehow pystray can do this it will be a great hit
the code i tried:
from pystray import Icon as icon, Menu as menu, MenuItem as item

hello,
Please help me, im using pystray to create an icon on my desktop, my purpose is how to change value of menuitem, i was thinking about stoping icon setup then updating icon menu before restart for a new time the icon setup. but i can't stop icon run, any idea please
Hi,
I'am trying to create an icon in the system tray using the provided example.
But here is my code:
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
import pystray
print("Start")
icon = pystray.Icon('test name')
print("Step 1")
def create_image():
# Generate an image and draw a pattern
width=16
height=16
color1=50
color2=250
image = Image.new('RGB', (width, height), color1)
dc = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
dc.rectangle(
(width // 2, 0, width, height // 2),
fill=color2)
dc.rectangle(
(0, height // 2, width // 2, height),
fill=color2)
image.show()
return image
icon.icon = create_image()
print("Step 2")
icon.run()
print("Step 3")
And the console output is:
Start
Step 1
Step 2
What am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to create a menu with 'checked' items dynamically using lambda and for statements.
In the code, I have a function that returns the menu with a sub-menu built based in a dictionary named 'menu_notifications_active'.
The problem occurring is the checked item is only updated when I switch the last item ('Item5'). The action code is called correctly, but the code for the 'checked' property, for some reason, is not working as expected.
My code:
from pystray import Icon as tray_icon, Menu as menu, MenuItem as item
menu_notifications_active = {'Item1': True, 'Item2': True,
'Item3': True, 'Item4': True, 'Item5': True}
def check_item(icon, item):
global menu_notifications_active
menu_notifications_active[item.text] = not item.checked
logger.info("Notification changed for {}: {}".format(
item.text, menu_notifications_active[item.text]))
def get_item_value(key):
logger.info("get_item_value('{}') = {}".format(
key, menu_notifications_active[key]))
return menu_notifications_active[key]
def create_menu():
tray_menu = menu(item('Notifications', menu(
lambda: (item(key, check_item, checked=lambda item: menu_notifications_active[key]) for key in menu_notifications_active))
), item('Exit', opt_exit))
return tray_menu
def main():
tray_icon.icon = create_image()
tray_icon.menu = create_menu()
sys.exit(0)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
In the logs we can see:

Hi great project i really appreciate any modules that add basic functions to Python while keeping it cross-platform.
I'd like to "feature" request that you remove the dependency on PIL and allow for usage of an icon.png file. Hope i'm not alone in this desire, that it sounds reasonible and hope that it is easy to implement.

The tray shows up, the hello world notification shows up, but when pressing the remove notification button, it gives me this error and nothing happens.
I am using Gnome 3 and for my app I would like to have really simple function for tray icon: if I click on icon, the app will show its window, if I click on tray icon again, the app will hide its window. I can do this, but not just with click, just with menu - but I want no menu, just click. Double click dont work too. Still will just open menu. But if I click on menu item, it is working good, but I would like to work without menu.
Here is my code:

I am dynamically updating the icon image in a thread as suggested in #30 and it works well. Thank you.
During runtime a copy of the current image is created with a random name at /tmp/tmp*. Each time the icon changes, it appears the old file is deleted and a new file is created with a new random name.
However, each time the below code is run, a copy of the icon image is left behind on exit. If the script runs 100 times, then 100 temporary files are left behind.
It seems there is something missing in cleanup of the icon image on exit?
This code tests whether a VPN network interface is up or not, however you can change the path to any test file then create and delete that test file to test the functionality. The actual VPN does not matter. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.

I directly imported pystray after installing with pip3
ImportError: this platform is not supported
I'm currently on ubuntu.
Doing a little digging, I went through the imports one by one and found Xlib is not installed.
pip3 install python3-xlib
ah... I think I see how this is a problem.
Since python-xlib does not install on python3,
and python3-xlib does not installl on python2,
trying to create a universal pystray will fail since you can't require the same type of packages.
I think getting a more informative error (in case an import fails) would be useful.
I'd like to open a window when a menu on the icon is clicked.
I've been playing around with tk, but I have a hard time getting tk and pystray to work at the same time since both assume that they control the event loop.
Do you have any recommendations how I could make this work?

Hi,
I am trying to run the app from a thread.
There is a random error(happens 8 of 10 times).
WindowsError: exception: access violation reading 0x00007FFC0000C2FD
I am sharing the icon with other threads via globals. So have to initialize it with
icon = None
I suspect this is the reason, where a main thread variable is being used by sub-threads.
How to overcome?
A trycatch points to

Hello,
Thanks for this outstanding work, this is a nice cross-platform and lightweight package,
I was looking for a lightweight systray that can work with tkinter and yours was my first choice until i found something in documentation says that pystray must run from main loop, then i decided to use "infi.systray" which supports windows only, everything works on windows flawlessly no issues,
Then i tried to find a way to run your pystray from a thread, and finally it did work "I didn't know before that main thread is the requirement for mac only", and i have to create menu and run icon from same thread.
everything works well with pystray on windows, however i miss 2 features:
1- set/update tooltip, in infi.systray i can use systray.update(hover_text='my tooltip')
2- Double-click
which, I hope you could add support for both.
here is an example code, where I run Icon from a thread "not worry about mac support right now"
from PIL import Image

Hello,
Is it possible to list all systray icons (even the ones started by an other process) ?
Hi guys,
I am facing an issue where my application goes missing from the system tray, but it is running properly when viewing in task manager. The issue is not persistent . If I restart my application trayicon appears again.
This is my code to make the icon visible.
icon = pystray.Icon('test name')
icon.visible = True
This is the stack trace of the error which I guess is the root of the issue
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pystray\_base.py", line 153, in visible
self._show()
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pystray\_win32.py", line 75, in _show
szTip=self.title)
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pystray\_win32.py", line 296, in _message
**kwargs))
OSError: exception: access violation reading 0x00000000049D1008.
This is the function which fails
win32.Shell_NotifyIcon(code, win32.NOTIFYICONDATA(
cbSize=ctypes.sizeof(win32.NOTIFYICONDATA),
hWnd=self._hwnd,
hID=id(self),
uFlags=flags,
**kwargs))
Please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks
I'm spelunking through the library source in hopes of finding the reason for a mysterious GTK crash... and saw something weird:
def run(self, setup=None):
...
self._run()
self._running = True
_run() only returns once stop() is called, so if stop() is called from the setup thread, it will first set _running to False, and then run() will set it back to True after _run() returns.
_running is later used in __del__ in _win32.py and _xorg.py to decide whether to call stop().
I suspect this is unintended, though I'm not able to test on Windows to tell what the effects of changing it would be.
Hello again!
The latest update did, indeed, fix the HAS_NOTIFICATION issue. Thank you for the quick fix! :)
However, I run into an issue where no error is reported, but a notification is not displayed.
This can be reproduced by simply putting icon.Notify("msg") in the setup callback.
Thank you!
