Indicator (tray icon): obsolete or worth keeping?

Open joshas opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

With GTK+ 3 deprecating Gtk.StatusIcon the future of Indicator (tray icon that appears after turning on "hide window on close" in Preferences) is unclear. Should it be removed from Sunflower, or be replaced with some modern alternative, e.g. XApp.StatusIcon from Linux Mint (https://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=3795 , scroll down a bit to "System Tray Icons" section). Of course it could always be kept as is until migration to GTK+ 4.

Am not sure whether we should keep it or obsolete it. People asked for it, but I am yet to see someone use it or tell me they are using it. I'd say keep it and ask if people want it still or use it.
