Volti doesn't work on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS even after installing Systray Fixes

[C-F-4]

Volti doesn't work in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus). Tried dconf-editor to whitelist the application but the support for the schema has been dropped and isn't available now. Also there are no errors in Terminal. So I tried (ppa:timekiller/unity-systrayfix) sudo add-apt-repository ppa:timekiller/unity-systrayfix sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade as suggested on Stack Overflow 1 and (Indicator Systemtray Unity) sudo apt-add-repository ppa:fixnix/indicator-systemtray-unity sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install indicator-systemtray-unity as suggested on Stack Overflow 1

In case, Volti isn't compatible with systray https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators

Volti is written for systray. As I understand Ubuntu disabled support for systray, hard coding some apps, whitelisting some, creating mess etc. so now for systray apps hacks like you posted are needed.

I don't use Ubuntu or care enough for such decisions. So all apps must be rewritten now just for Ubuntu because they don't like systray? Can this be done in GTK3, can app use both systray and indicators ?

I totally understand your frustration! Anyways the systray hacks didn't work for me, that's why I created this issue. Plus the hacks aren't what a user should need to work with after just installing an application to fix an already missing feature in Ubuntu, especially since Volti is only accessible through the systray. And I am not aware of any solution as of now to this. :'( To be honest I was really looking forward to trying out this software.
