Rhythmbox tray icon plugin
==========================

A tray icon to control basic Rhythmbox features. Requires Rhythmbox 2.9+.  Was working in Ubuntu 12.04, but is no longer maintained due to Ubuntu Panel restrictions.

You can rate the track, play/pause, go previous, go next, or quit.

Scroll up and down over the tray icon to adjust Rhythmbox's volume.

Click on the tray icon to show or hide the Rhythmbox window.

The tray icon has a green 'play' overlay when a track is playing.

When you hover over the icon, it shows the playing track:
