Athere's no objectively correct way to have your UI setup, just subjective

Afair. Tbh KDE's big theming problem is it's full of macOS UI ripoffs which is agony
MI always just learn to use whatever is set by default, because the amount of time I end up spending trying to tinker with things and innevitably breaking it is more than I would save by it being absolutely perfect
Await so do tray icons break directscanout
Hyeah
COnly the legacy ones(notably Wine's)
Vso retro
Aoutstanding
Aold as piss tray icon standard moment
Chttps://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3524
It's either the X11 windows used as icons created by the applications or the override redirect windows that gnome-shell creates as parent windows for those client windows that are preventing direct scanout somehow.
Hyeah it's just cursed lmao
Hdamned if you enable it, damned if you disable it
Ax11 moment
M
direct scanoutMhaving issues?
Mwhat a shocker
CYou know what, disabled AppIndicator
CI'm a clean man now
Huntil you close discord and it doesn't quit, annoying you with notifications till you end your session
CCouldn't be me, I disable tray functionality
Ayeah I just turned my tray off lmao
Adidn't realise that was breaking my VRR lolol
Hyeah but the apps still expect it from what i can remember
correct me if im wrong but they just kinda awkwardly linger
correct me if im wrong but they just kinda awkwardly linger
CYou can disable just the legacy support and it will stilll work
Hah
CBut the icons will open up this little window at the top left corner
AI can just click the steam icon on my taskbar if I close it to pull the window back up, it's no probs
VI can't live without tray icons
CEasier than you think
VYeah but like, why should I lol
VThey're just a convenience feature, saying "Well actually you don't need this" is a bit silly
AI mean, considering I'm using GNOME primarily most apps aren't using tray icons
VI mean even if I used GNOME I'd want tray icons for the same apps
VI'm not dying over tray icon support for Kwrite
VIt's stuff like discord or music
CFor music you can use the notification I suppose
CAnd plop Discord in another workspace
Hyeah MPRIS is entirely separate from that
VI love Kool Desktop Environment Plasma
Hboth idk about smaller DEs but both kde and gnome have no trouble with it
AI mean the main issue is the standard for tray icons is hella old
CThere's a new standard being worked on
Vwho's doing it?
CNot sure, I believe someone at GNOME
CThe background app thing was already a first step towards it
Ayeah it is being worked on because the old standard is in massive need of an overhaul
Hill take literally anything over what we have right now
Athe issue as well is a lot of these apps using tray icons are using a fucking kde thing instead of any form of freedesktop standard which is really part of the problem
Hthe biggest merit that the current protocol has is that it's oddly good for emulating those dumb windows trays that don't follow their conventions
