can not create tray on ubuntu gnome desktop

[ggaaooppeenngg]

I tried this code,but found nothing happened, node-v0.10.33, node-webkit-v0.8.6

// Load native UI library
var gui = require('nw.gui');

// Create a tray icon
var tray = new gui.Tray({ title: 'Tray', icon: 'img/icon.png' });

// Give it a menu
var menu = new gui.Menu();
menu.append(new gui.MenuItem({ type: 'checkbox', label: 'box1' }));
tray.menu = menu;

Your code is correct, however it will not work on Ubuntu.
This is a known problem. There is a pull request to resolve it:
#2327
In addition there is a similar issue under:
#261

Sorry this does not solve your problem.

This is still a bug until PR is merged 😄

Install this Gnome extension named "TopIcons" => worked with GNOME Shell 3.14.4 !
Just follow the step to install it. After the installation the tray appears (you can customize the size and the padding).

If not working install "TopIcons-plus" => not compatible with GNOME Shell 3.14.4 ! (this one gots more customization options).

Hope this will help :)
