Loki support ?

[Menci]

Works on Freya well, thanks.

But, Loki has no more Ayatana support, so I can't access my Dropbox app now.

Would you like to add the support for Loki with new indocator APIs or as dock item ?

[hectorm]

Currently, I can't find a simple way to add support for Loki. When I (or someone else) find it, I will implement that solution.

[Menci]

Maybe you can view the source code of Loki's wingpanel indicators.

[hectorm]

I added experimental support for Loki (a08a271). I can't guarantee it will work when the stable version is released.

[Menci]

It doesn't work on my Loki beta, the icon is not correct. And if I click it (left or right button), a empty menu is shown.

[hectorm]

I tested it on a clean and updated installation of Elementary OS Loki (using beta ISO) and has worked well for me.

Have you restarted? Have you made any significant change to your system?

[Menci]

I put the icons/* in .local/share/icons and .local/share/icons/hicolor, and rebooted, but it still doesn't work.

There's some info of install.

 + Configuring Dropbox... 
 + Adding to path (maybe a restart is required)... 
 + Creating menu launcher... 
 + Creating autostart launcher... 
 + Do you want to install the custom icons? [y/N]: y
 + Elementary OS Loki detected. 
 + Do you want to enable experimental support? [y/N]: y
 + Configuring Elementary OS Loki (maybe a restart is required)... 
 + Configuration complete. 
 + Run Dropbox now? [y/N]: y
Starting Dropbox...Dropbox isn't running!
Done!

I didn't modify the system package and settings.

I used to use the daily PPA to get Loki alpha1, and now packages are latest with the PPA.

And some dpkg info here.

I also noticed that the Telegram/Fcitx indicators showed after the installation. Now they are working well, both icons and menus.

works fine in loki beta 2, but there is one little problem, wingpanel's icon on loki will change to dark theme if it's above the bright part of wallpaper, but this custom dropbox stays white.

[hectorm]

This is an issue related to elementary theme. You can use another GTK theme or temporary disable Wingpanel transparency until I can find a solution.

gsettings set org.pantheon.desktop.wingpanel use-transparency false

Hi, just want to report my finding. I just install this project on Loki and it works. Thanks!

[THPubs]

Same here! Working fine in Loki :-)

[simarmata535]

event the indicator transition? mine stay white/bright when the others turn black/dark

[janraasch]

Works like a charm for me using Loki :).

[db0sch]

Works perfect on Loki!

[petar-andrejic]

Definitely not "working perfect", it works but there is no dark icon making it stick out like a sore thumb

[krtibo]

Any news on the dark icon bug?

[hectorm]

Sorry, but I'm currently not an elementary OS user and I don't have the time to fix this issue. But anyone can feel free to make a fork.
