Hello, I installed Topicons-plus from https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/?c=33512, install OK, activation OK, but no icons.

Thank you for your help.

Config: Ubuntu 17.10, gnome on Xorg session, NVidia.

The same thing after the update of the extension... Icons have disappeared ((

bpearson commented 7 years ago

I didn't notice at first ( I thought it wasn't fully working ) but its partially working for me. Keepassx icon shows, but others (like Steam and HipChat) do not. Not sure if that helps in any way or not.

This has to do with some delay in loading TopIcons plus.

The workaround is to add X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay=10 (10 is an example) at the end of .desktop files for apps with legacy systray icons in ~/.config/autostart

bpearson commented 7 years ago

Steam and Hipchat are not auto starting for me and the icon still doesn't show.

ghost commented 7 years ago

Are you sure they are not started. Just check it in a terminal:

ps -ef | grep -Ei steam\|hipchat

If they are, it's better to increase X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay to e.g. 30

bpearson commented 7 years ago

Yes I am sure, I make sure they start only when I want to use them.

ghost commented 7 years ago

OK, maybe someone else know a solution.

legluondunet commented 7 years ago

launch Steam --> no icon launch transmission --> no icon ...

ghost commented 7 years ago

Are you both running Ubuntu 17.10? I do and did run Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 before that.

I installed vanilla-gnome-desktop, so maybe that is the difference.

bpearson commented 7 years ago

Thank you! That was it. I previously installed gnome-session in hopes of the old Ubuntu Gnome settings, but this restored much more. The icons are appearing again.

legluondunet commented 7 years ago

I use Ubuntu 17.10 for the start of this bug report. I just installed vanilla-gnome-desktop and it works now.

legluondunet commented 7 years ago

I close this issue because this extension works with Ubuntu 17.10 if you install gnome vanilla: sudo apt-get install vanilla-gnome-default-settings vanilla-gnome-desktop

Albertmoiseev commented 7 years ago

Yes, it has started to work. Many thx, mates!

@legluondunet With the remark that when applications are started before TopIcon-Plus is started, their icons are not displayed. The workaround is to add a delay (X-GNOME-Autostart-Delay) in the respective ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop files.
