Missing tray icons

[egrath]

BUG REPORT

There’s still a long standing issue with displaying notification icons - they aren’t shown at all for Flatpak applications. Example of applications which use a Notification Icon in the Tray next to the clock:

• NextCloud Client
• Peek

Not having a Notification icon makes it really hard to use those applications.

Thanks – we moved to the same tray icon extension that Ubuntu uses in Endless OS 3.8.0 or newer, but sometimes changes are needed in the Flatpaks to make these work. We’ve fixed a number of apps (including Dropbox and Zoom) lately. For these particular apps:

• NextCloud Client: there’s an existing ticket at https://github.com/flathub/org.nextcloud.Nextcloud/issues/62. I submitted a fix to https://github.com/flathub/org.nextcloud.Nextcloud/pull/67.
• Peek: are you sure this application is meant to show a notification icon? It seems perfectly usable to me. If it does show one on other platforms, please report the problem on https://github.com/flathub/com.uploadedlobster.peek.

Hello wjt,
thanks for the information. And yes, you’re absolutely right about Peek. It seems that this issue has been fixed in the meantime from when i last checked it about two months ago. Peek displays a recording notification in the tray as it should:

Thanks – I had never noticed! Actually that icon is displayed by GNOME Shell itself, since Peek uses a GNOME Shell API to record the screen.
