Description Todd 2011-09-05 09:02:19 UTC

Version:           KDE 4 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

Currently when kalarm is running in the system tray, the system tray icon is always visible, even if kalarm is not doing anything because you have no active alarms.  It would be nice if the kalarm tray icon would automatically hide if there are no alarms active.  If a user wants to always show the icon or always hide the icon they can do so in the system tray settings, so this will not remove any functionality for users.  Having it auto-hide it if there are no alarms in the next 24 hours (or some other period of time) would be a reasonable alternative

It would also be possible, as an alternative, to make it configurable.  So the user could set it to auto-hide if there are no alarms in the next X period of time, where X could range from 1 minute to forever (if you go below 1 minute it always shows the icon).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set kalarm to use the system tray
2. Turn off or delete all alarms

Actual Results:  
kalarm is visible in the system tray with 

Expected Results:  
kalarm is hidden in the system tray (only visible by clicking the arrow or triangle icon).
