I installed Topicons Plus Gnome extension to get a sys tray back and I do see the sys tray icon now. I was expecting it would show me the status of gromit-mpx but it does not. I think it would be great to change the icon when it is active. I have a hard time knowing when it is active otherwise.

Thanks for the idea! How would you envision this to look like?

Thanks, something as simple as this would work just fine:

Inactive:

Active:

Isn't one able to tell from the cursor shape whether it's activated or not?

For my use case, which is primarily touch or pen, on my screen, it shows the cross hairs initially for the first annotation, then after that stroke, it disappears and I am unable to tell. Based on what you are suggesting, if the cross hairs stayed on the screen then it should be easy to tell.

So when using the mouse, the crosshairs stay up and it is easy to tell, but when touching it disappears and if I move the mouse again I can tell. Which is a workaround for now.
