GNOME verzichtet bewusst auf das klassische Tray. Wer trotzdem auf Anwendungen mit AppIndicator angewiesen ist, kann unter GNOME 48 wieder auf die entsprechende Erweiterung setzen. Für Arch gibt es bereits eine gepatchte Version. Mehr zum Thema im Blog: https://linuxundich.de/gnu-linux/gnome-48-und-das-alte-tray-problem-appindicator-erweiterung-mit-patch-fuer-arch-verfuegbar/

@sprocket And the third one, yes, #gnome needs #appindicator support very much, however, I'm not sure an extension could be added officially when bugs like these exist:
https://github.com/ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator/issues/199

I've had this issue on PopOS and it made me switch distros because of it. (Yes, I didn't know disabling the extension would make the problem go away)

#TIL: Apparently there is a maximum of 10 issues that a single pull request can reference on #GitHub.

@purejava easily exceeds this limit with his PR, adding #appindicator support to @cryptomator, solving plenty of issues caused by the dreadful #AWT #tray icons.

It took some time and effort but we're finally there. We are so grateful for this contribution and I am sure, our #linux users will be as well! Thank you! 💚

My implementation of #appindicator #tray #menu support is mature. 😎

This is, what it looks like on different desktop environments:

Implementing #appindicator #tray #menu support for @cryptomator is an ongoing process, and so much has been achieved so far!

Isn't my fresh #ArchLinux desktop cool?

I just love how smoothly a Linux system tends to run. I forget I install it to a 7200 RPM hard disk sometimes because it feels at least as responsive as my Windows and macOS installs on SSDs.

Le Day7 est dispo sur le site de didrocks : au programme, l'arrivée d'une 2ème extension par défaut (App Indicator) qui permet d'avoir des indicateurs pour des applis en haut à droite (ce qui est le cas sur la plupart des autres environnements).

Pour rappel, le support de systray (barre flottante en bas à gauche) est abandonné par Gnome à partir de la version 3.26.
