[Solved] Waybar's tray isn't working

[chinh4thepro]

I'm currently trying to configure waybar, but can't figure out how to get the tray working. Every time I launch waybar I get:

Code: Select all

[warning] For a functional tray you must have libappindicator-* installed and export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity

I have tried exporting the XDG desktop session to Unity but that did nothing. Could someone help me figure it out? Thanks!

So echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP returns correctly and dev-libs/libappindicator are installed? Ignore the warning and minimize something

[chinh4thepro]

Yes it is outputting correctly, and libappindicator is installed.

I know nothing about waybar, but reviewing the code shows that a warning is always output (without checking anything) for the tray in the code.

Beyond that, I will be of no help

Does this basic lil script throw an icon in the tray area? You need some specifics here, like what you've tried etc

[chinh4thepro]

Yes, it does, but any other application like discord or nm-applet doesn't appear.

nm-applet doesn't appear.

Try to emerge nm-applet with appindicator USE flag and then run with additional parameter:

Code: Select all

nm-applet --indicator

[chinh4thepro]

That did not work, nm-applet doesn't show up in my tray area.

Sorry for the bump but the tray works on Arch, but not on Gentoo. It shows nm-applet and steam's tray icons, but not discord's.
