Confusing behavior with "Always receive notifications" #133

Closed FedericoCeratto closed 4 years ago

FedericoCeratto commented 5 years ago

When "Always receive notifications" is set under Settings, tootle runs in background without creating a tray icon. There's no way tell that it is running (other than using pgrep) or to open it again ("pop it up" so to speak) without starting the application again.

This is the intended behavior for elementary OS as most of the apps there behave like this as well.

Besides, third-party indicators are being deprecated and no longer will be visible. While I don't agree with this decision, I can see why it was made. The current behavior seems good enough for me at this point.

I agree that "Always receive notifications" sounds a bit inexplicit, so I'll just rephrase that with something like "Receive notifications in background".
