Contributor‐Opt‐Out

NexaKnight edited this page May 13, 2026 · 2 revisions

By opening a pull request against the BetterTrayIcons repo and having it merged into main, you accept that your GitHub avatar, username and merged commit count will show up on the About tab of the extension preferences. The same information is already public on your GitHub profile and the repo's contributors graph, so nothing new is exposed.

How to opt out

Two options:

  • Ask the maintainer. Open an issue with the question label or contact the maintainer directly. Your username will be added to the opt-out list at the next release.
  • Opt out yourself. Open a pull request that adds your GitHub username (lowercase, no leading @) to the CONTRIBUTORS_OPTOUT array in src/const.js. State in the description that this is a self opt-out.

Your contributor status on the repo page itself is controlled by GitHub and can't be hidden by the project.

Rules

The opt-out list is for self-requests only. Adding someone else's username without their explicit, documented consent, or removing an existing opt-out on someone else's behalf, will be rejected. Contributors who repeatedly do this may have future PRs declined regardless of content.
