Hey there! Thanks for the interest in this fork of wingpanel-indicator-ayatana. Unfortunately, between classes and other time-consuming matters, I haven't had the chance to work on this in a long time. If you're looking for a version that fixes and updates some more things, please check out the fork at:

Wingpanel Ayatana-Compatibility Indicator (Community Version)

Description:

Keep compatibility with ubuntu/unity indicators on Elementary OS wingpanel. If you want to install applications with indicators like weather forecast, redshift... this plug-in let these indicators appear in your panel.

Easy Install (user only)

1. Download the deb file (zip) and launch install

Parameters for Pantheon (eos)

2. You need to add Pantheon to the list of desktops abled to work with indicators:

• With autostart (thanks to JMoerman)
just add /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/indicator-application/indicator-application-service as custom command to the auto start applications in the system settings. System settings -> "Applications" -> "Startup" -> "Add Startup App…" -> "Type in a custom command". No need for manually editing files using root and no risks of .desktop files being overwritten.

• With the terminal (thanks to ankurk91)
Open Terminal and run the following commands.

mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
cp /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
sed -i 's/^OnlyShowIn.*/OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;/' ~/.config/autostart/indicator-application.desktop



• Editing files (more risks)

sudo nano /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop

Search the parameter: OnlyShowIn= and add "Pantheon" at the end of the line :

OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;

Save your changes (Ctrl+X to quit + Y(es) save the changes + Enter to valid the filename).

3.reboot.
