Create a system tray with the backup running. #213

Describe the solution you'd like The goal would be, as soon as Timeshift starts a backup, a system tray should appear in GNOME, where I can see the current progress in percent by clicking on it.

Additional context I am a programmer myself and would take care of it. The only question is whether I am the only one with the desire, or whether several people have this desire?

Do you mean somethig like this? Though, it would work only in Cinamon and it doesn't work in Linux Mint for me :-(

It does not have to be a progress bar, important would be once the status and the percentage. I would implement it, but if no one needs it, I don't go to the extra trouble.

Such a feature would be very useful.
