Indicator is invisible or near invisible on many desktop themes in Mint #42

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

The panel indicator - or should I call it a system tray icon? - for AngrySearch is near invisible for me. For, on my disto, it is very hard to see, pretty much independent of theme (and I don't really need the indicator). Here are partial screenshots using various themes:

I'd be happy with a way simply of disabling the icon; is there a way to do that? I can't find an option in the conf file (or any report of such an option). I apologise if I've overlooked or forgotten something.

did quick test in virtualmachine with like 3 popular themes in mint 18.3 cinnamon and tray icon was visible, even though I feel like it appeared bit late.

Anyway, simple way to disable tray icon would be editing /usr/share/angrysearch/angrysearch.py finding line with the text: self.tray_icon.show() and commenting it out by putting # at the beginning turning it in to: #self.tray_icon.show()

I like to use sublime text as it has easy elevation to root when saving the file...

here it is shown in action

Thank you for your informative and helpful reply.

Hmm. The themes to which my screenshots owe included themes Mint ships with, such as the desktop themes Linux Mint' and 'Mint X Sand'. Still, perhaps icon theme is involved as well . .

At any rate, I'd really appreciate an angrysearch.conf toggle for the tray icon (because otherwise I'll have to adapt my install-from-git script for AngrySearch; and others might find such a toggle helpful too).

On Mint 21 Cinnamon, which is based on Ubuntu 22.04, the AngrySearch icon does appear. That's good! So I would close this issue - were it not for two things.

(1) All the icon seems to do is to show a menu on right-click. The menu gives the version information and has a 'quit' option. Is that really all the menu is meant to do? Left-clicking the icon does not foreground AngrySearch AngrySearch is in the background or minimized.

(2) I installed the latest version of AngrySearch - version 1.03, but the icon menu still shows the version that I had before, namely, version 1.01. I did remove the old version (manually) and the install script gave no error when I installed version 1.03. [Edit: then I tried using uninstall.sh and then reinstalling via install.sh. The problem of the version number persisted.]

Thank you for your time and for your useful program.
