The result on RHEL 7.6
Fwiw, the same (not working) on Fedora 29. Then, is libappindicator-gtk3 not supported on RHEL8? How can I create a tray icon? Thanks a lot. This GNOME extension may be of help: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/ Thank you very much for your info. I checked the gnome-shell-extension you attached. It used libappindicator too. I can't see the tray icon with it too. Sorry, I found I misunderstood your meaning. With this gnome shell extension, libappindicator can be used now. Thanks a lot. Now I can display the tray icons with libappindicator. You can close this bug. Thank you very much. |
