 Posted: Fri Mar 22, 2024 1:19 pm Post subject: Tray usage for signal-desktop-bin |
 |
|
Hello,
When I was upgrading my signal-desktop-bin i have noticed that I can use the tray icon by using flags as --use-tray-icon or --start-in-tray.
I am using waybar with tray module so I would like to start signal with --use-tray-icon.
I am using wofi to launch my apps and just adding the flag to the dekstop file (/usr/share/applications/signal-desktop.desktop)
seems to work.
I think that it would be nice if we turned this on by default, or at least gave a flag for it.
What do you think about this? |

AwesomeWM user here. I avoid tray icons as much as I can for different reasons (visual inconsistency, useless with a tiling window manager since all apps are visible anyway). To each their own I guess.
It's nice that --use-tray-icon is there for users who want a tray icon, and it's also nice that it's not the default. My two cents... |
