In the following image you can see the dropbox system tray icon top right, with the error message below it. I am using the `i3wm` on Ubuntu with `i3status` to show the icons. To me this is a bug in t...
Hi all,
When starting up my computer this morning I was greeted with this dialog box:
Clicking the 'Learn More' button, the page lists a very small number of desktop environments on which App Indicator is supported. I use the 'awesome' window manager, which from what I can tell doesn't support App Indicator. So for people like me, will there be no way for us to have a Dropbox tray icon?
I am aware I can still use Dropbox in 'headless mode' without a tray icon. I don't want to do that. The tray icon is very useful to see current usage and recently synced files quickly without messing around in the terminal, and to see at a glance whether Dropbox is syncing, has finished syncing, or has crashed.
The current tray icon works perfectly fine as it is. There is no need to replace it with a new version that supports far fewer desktop environments and completely breaks the tray icon on any others.
Is there any way we can keep the current Dropbox tray icon without having to completely uproot our entire desktop config (i.e. 'update your environment')?
Thanks.
