      I don’t believe so. With appindicator you’re 1 click away from the apps menu. With this solution you’re 3 clicks away

        Appindictator is an extension. There’ll likely be an extension which adds them to the top bar.

        This implementation of background apps seems to pretty close to current systray implementations, so I hope those others will finally be replaced.

            This is the most annoying thing imo. I like the new proposal… but I want to know all my apps that are in the background. I won’t without other extensions still. I just want things to just work lol.

          What’s the benefit in replacing one extension with another in order to achieve the same thing? Real progress would be an option in the default Gnome shell to show the background apps directly in the top bar without any additional clicks.

      I don’t think so. The extension adds support for systrays in an unsafe manner, and after years of that not existing in GNOME (unsafety being a reason), why should it change after some design mockups?

      What I could see happening is that now some devs start discussing a new systray API and in the end that would be implemented natively. Hopefully not hidden behind 3 clicks tho lol
