GNOME 48 und das alte Tray-Problem: AppIndicator-Erweiterung mit Patch für Arch verfügbar

@purejava easily exceeds this limit with his PR, adding #appindicator support to @cryptomator, solving plenty of issues caused by the dreadful #AWT #tray icons.

Isn't my fresh #ArchLinux desktop cool?

I just love how smoothly a Linux system tends to run. I forget I install it to a 7200 RPM hard disk sometimes because it feels at least as responsive as my Windows and macOS installs on SSDs.

One more upcoming change/improvement for Ayatana #AppIndicator: tooltip support, provided by @gber: https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator/pull/17

Le Day7 est dispo sur le site de didrocks : au programme, l'arrivée d'une 2ème extension par défaut (App Indicator) qui permet d'avoir des indicateurs pour des applis en haut à droite (ce qui est le cas sur la plupart des autres environnements).

Pour rappel, le support de systray (barre flottante en bas à gauche) est abandonné par Gnome à partir de la version 3.26.
