Is the application indicator plugin added to the try?
yandex-disk-indicator uses the app indicator pluging to show its icon.

[slytomcat]

I also can see 'Gtk-CRITICAL **: 18:55:13.561: gtk_widget_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed' error in the log, but idicator works normally.

[dimitrios-git]

Hello, I am sorry but I don't understand your comments. I can confirm that synchronizing works normally, but the indicator is not showing.

[slytomcat]

Indicator shows its icon in the App Indicator plugin. The App Indicator plugin have to be added to tray to work. Is your tray have the App Indicator plugin added?

[dimitrios-git]

Thanks for the quick reply.
Let me clarify. Since I am on Archlinux, I am using the package from AUR to install this.
There are two packages there:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yandex-disk-indicator/
this one produces the error that GTK_IS_WIDGET
the AUR package takes care of the dependencies and therefore it installs libappindicator-gtk3.

I also tried that other package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/yandex-disk-indicator-git/), which is based on your git, but that won't even start giving me this error:
python3: can't open file 'indicator.py'": [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[slytomcat]

AUR packages/repos is out of my responsibilities. Sorry.

If all the dependencies are satisfied, then you can install the Indicator from this repo as source and the only thing to do - to run build/install.sh script as root. The indicator is written in Python3 and bash and does't require a building. In this case I can assist you to fix the issue.

But I'm asking not about the way of installation. I'm asking about your desktop configuration.

Desktop tray have to have the special plugin to show the indicator icon. And first of all we have to clarify: is that tray plugin (usually it's called "indicators") exists in your desktop tray bar?

[dimitrios-git]

I understand that you cannot assist with the AUR package. However, as you said, the problem is not with the installation. I removed the AUR package and installed it using your script. I get exactly the same error.

About the indicator plugin: Now I understand what you meant.

I am using GNOME 3.36 and I have installed this extension for the tray icons: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2890/tray-icons-reloaded/
It works well with all my other apps. I've also tried different extensions. Nothing works for your app.

[slytomcat]

There is two way to show icons in tray bar.
Application Indicator plugin and system tray plugin. Some apps uses system tray or even booth solutions. This indicator uses only Application Indicator plugin.

[dimitrios-git]

Oh! That rang a bell!

I installed gnome-shell-extensions-appindicator-git and that did the trick!

Thank you so much!
