This is exactly what it needed to be from the start!
and looks like indicators with extra steps.
lets just hope it can actually work as a propay tray this time.
Isn't this pretty much a systray design mockup now?
well yeah thats how gnome shell will enhance their background apps section in the corner menu. Currently all you can do is summon the application from the background into focus. This implementation will hopefully replace the need for https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/
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
Yes it's a system tray with extra steps. It's taken 15 years for GNOME developers to still not understand this. I think they're are trolling us.
It just works with portals, tho
However, yes, it's pretty much systray. What I don't understand is why don't show icons on the top bar
Ugh I hate how tablet-y it has felt since GNOME 40
I couldn't handle the default look after GNOME 2 (GNOME Classic never felt right). But basically with the same 'too tablety' argument.
Yeah instead of upgrading above GNOME 40 I switched to KDE with this. It has been a dream
its the other way around.
tablet oses 'borrowed' quite a bit from gnome.
Shame, I like the touchscreen ready design!
You can always use KDE. I like the simplified interface that gets out of my way, and I enjoy the gestures-based interaction.
I do now.
