+Solaar needs a library to interact with the system tray.
+The library that provides this interaction depends on the distribution and window system.
+If ayatana appindicator is available then it is best to have this library installed,
+e.g., by installing `libayatana-appindicator` or `gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1` or similar,
+depending on distribution.
+Otherwise appindicator can sometimes be used,
+e.g., by installing `libappindicator-gtk3` or `gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1` or similar,
+depending on distribution.

-recommended to install and use `gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1` if it is
-available, you can also use `gir1.2-appindicator3-0.1` if necessary (e.g.,
-for Unity in Ubuntu).
