Support system tray icons for Electron Applications #321

Closed imbev closed 7 months ago

imbev commented 7 months ago

Some application icons are missing from the system tray. This appears to correspond to whether the application uses Electron.

Present: qBittorrent (Not Electron)

Missing: Element, Discord (Electron)

All applications tested were installed via Flatpak

Tray icon uses StatusNotifierItem by default, when it is not available in user's desktop environment the GtkStatusIcon will be used instead.

Is this the same issue as https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/issues/165 ?

Most likely. A generalized title would be "Status area applet: system tray support for StatusNotifierItem, GtkStatusIcon"

The latest version of cosmic-applets should be working with Electron apps, after some recent fixes. Unless there are issues with certain specific apps.

imbev commented 7 months ago

This now works properly following an update and restart.
