## System Tray
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Solaar's GUI normally uses an icon in the system tray.
|
||||||
|
This allows users to close Solaar and reopen from the tray.
|
||||||
|
This aspect of Solaar depends on having an active system tray which may
|
||||||
|
require some special setup when using Gnome, particularly under Wayland.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are running gnome, you most likely need the
|
||||||
|
`gnome-shell-extension-appindicator` package installed.
|
||||||
|
In Fedora, this can be done by running
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sudo dnf install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
The likely command in Ubuntu and related distributions is
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
You may have to log out and log in again before the system tray shows up.
