Linux newbie moving along with my learning so please bear with me. I can get the app to run (had to pacman cmake) but it doesnt show any icon in the panel/topbar in Gnome Shell. If I "X" the window I can see the terminal still capturing data, so how do I bring the window back?
@tim-gromeyer commented on GitHub (May 1, 2025):
Oh yeah, you mentioned gnome shell. Gnome shell doesn't support tray icons. You need to download a extension for that.
(maybe later on in development, we can add a shortcut to open it)
The current way to open the windows is by clicking on the tray icon.
@slimdizzy commented on GitHub (May 1, 2025):
I tried all the tray extensions and no deal. Steam shows up but not this app. No big deal. What DE works best with this? KDE?
@tim-gromeyer commented on GitHub (May 1, 2025):
Yeah, kde should definitely work (that's what I'm using)
@slimdizzy commented on GitHub (May 2, 2025):
Plasma working a treat with this. Thanks for the help.

Try with AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support
Note, when the app is running the tray icon is actually there, but it's invisible on the dark background of the top bar, until you hover it with your mouse, and it becomes barely visible...
Look at this screenshot, on the left.
Click on it and it opens
I guess you can use an extension to set the bar in light mode, so that it's visible. It's a bit odd, granted, but the icon tray works.
@tim-gromeyer commented on GitHub (Jun 13, 2025):
Oh wow, didn't know, that the text isn't visible! No one reported a issue. I will add a setting for the text color
@j-silver commented on GitHub (Jun 14, 2025):
Also, again in Gnome, it auto-starts as a window at login time while it would be nicer if it started already minimised in the tray. I'm not sure if that's a Gnome only issue though.
@Obnomus commented on GitHub (Jul 19, 2025):
bro how did you manage to create a CMakeLists.txt, I'm getting this error
@tim-gromeyer commented on GitHub (Jul 19, 2025):
The CMakeLists.txt is in the Linux subdir
@Obnomus commented on GitHub (Jul 19, 2025):
Yeah I found it build it, thanks
