• Plasma 5 dropbox icon in sustray

    From Daniel@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 23 15:57:20 2016
    I just installed openSuse Leap 42.1. Not as easy as I would like...
    However it now works.
    I have my own user-id with Dropbox and things work. Now I also made a
    new user-id for my job as club-manager (sports club). Also with its own
    account for Dropbox, so that the two will not interfere.

    In the old account Dropbox works, but in systray no icon of Dropbox is
    visible.
    In the new account Dropbox works also and in systray there is an icon of Dropbox present.

    I have not been able to find anywhere a configuration file that will
    allow me to have the Dropbox-icon show up in systray in my old account.

    Anybody out there who can help me out with this?

    Have you checked the systray configuration? Right-click an empty spot
    of the systray and choose "System Tray Settings", and then "Entries".
    It is possible that the dropbox icon is set to "Always hidden".

    Ehhh, you're sooo right (blush) I should have thought of this myself... Thanks a lot for pointing this out!

    There may be other applications which will not show up in the systray as
    plasma 5 uses the new systray standard and some applications like pigeon
    still uses the old one, in those cases you would need to install
    stalonetray (there are a lot of alternatives out there).

    At work I have been forced to use stalonetray, so that I have a systray
    icon for thunderbird, davmail and pigeon.
