2. Restart OS
3. Login
4. Observe that icon in the tray is not visible (even though sleek is running)
5. Lock the screen
6. Unlock
7. The icon is now visible

No

Hi @serpro69 . Can I assume you're on Gnome 40?

[ransome1]

I installed an Ubuntu VM with the latest GNOME on it and actually I cannot see any tray icons at all. Usually KeepassXC has one but even that one is nowhere to find. I also stunbled upon this: https://blog.console.dev/on-removing-apis-status-appindicators-in-gnome/

So my question is: Did they remove tray icon support from GNOME?

I also installed a fresh Manjaro that comes with XFCE and here the tray icon is visible from the moment you turn on "Minimize to tray".

I'm confused.

Hi @ransome1 ,

Gnome version is 3.36.9

I can see other icons in the tray - keepassxc, discord, slack, to name a few.

@serpro69 could you please check if this still occurs in the latest developer preview of sleek 2.0?

Hi @ransome1 ,
I don't have a machine to reproduce this on atm, unfortunately.

@serpro69 I set up an Ubuntu VM and succesfully tested it with the AppImage of the latest developer preview.

Feel free to re-open here, in case it doesn't work for you.
