The systray icon seems to be broken on GNOME #52

Closed Kirottu closed 1 year ago

The systray icon seems to be broken, even though I have an extension to bring back the systray. It just errors out with: Gtk-CRITICAL **: 17:31:09.462: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed

What's the gnome version in question?

Kirottu commented 2 years ago

It is the latest, Gnome 42.1.

I have the same issue on KDE Plasma 5.25.0

the reliance on a systray icon seems strange to me. i was hoping to use app this with my chromebook (running steam in a container), but there's nothing to bridge systray icons and the outward ui so even if the systray icon worked i wouldn't be able to use it.

Tray icon is easier to implement and works just fine for me, that's why it's like that. ( i'm using Xfce4 and prefer classic desktop and non-containerized software ) Sometimes i forget that modern desktop is mimicking phones, programs now called apps and systray is just for notifications and status icons.

In my opinion systray icons are fine for tasks like this, but due to issues like this it probably shouldn't be the only means of control.

m4dEngi commented 1 year ago

Closing since tray icon is no longer used as UI substitute.
