AppIndicator support needed
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Hi,
I'm trying to use networkmgr in Enlightenment DE (fresh beta). Evidently, the tray icon is absent as their systray module only supports AppIndicator protocol now.
I know that this protocol is not supported in GTK and there is no future plans to support it. Fortunately, Linux Mint offers a solution - XApp.StatusIcon (see https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3795). They claim this solution to be "cross-desktop and cross-distribution". It would be nice to add AppIndicator support to networkmgr using this approach, so it could be used on any modern DE.

I'm trying to get it working with libappindicator in my branch appindicator started by 8723aee
The tray was deprecated in the later GTK3 version and removed in GTK4. We will have to replace it with an AppIndicator.
