GtkStatusIcon label in Gnome3

Question

How can affect on my app's status icon label in Gnome3? When i moving cursor on it shows me my app's executable name. How can I change it?

Answer 1

You can use gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip_text() or gtk_status_icon_set_tooltip_markup().

Alternatively, you can handle the query-tooltip signal and set the text dynamically when the tooltip is shown.

Answer 2

It was gtk_status_icon_set_title.
