Hi @lllwvlvwlll ,

Not sure if you've heard the news but libappindicator is being deprecated in Debian in favor of ayatana-indicators. See: http://bugs.debian.org/895037
Not sure if it's going to be the same for other distros but I guess so.
The source of the new one is https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/libayatana-appindicator
It seems there are a few adjustments to do to support that.
Do you know if it's a lot of work to port it over?

Thanks
