# AppIndicator support for GNOME Shell
This extension integrates AppIndicators, which are quite popular since the introduction of ubuntu unity, into the gnome shell.
It's based on patches made by Giovanni Campagna: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=652122
## Features
* Show indicator icons in the message tray or in the panel (can be configured even per indicator!)
* Reveal indicator menus upon click.
* Double clicking an icon will activate the application window (if implemented by the indicator).
## Missing features
* Tooltips: Not implemented in `libappindicator` nor in Unity and I've yet to see any indicator using it for anything relevant (KDE ones maybe?). Also, the GNOME designers decided not to have tooltips in the shell and I'd like to honor that decision.
* Oversized icons like the ones used by `indicator-multiload` are unsupported. They will be shrunk to normal size.
* Icon pixmaps: Implementation is likely to return if we find a real world indicator as test case.
* Overlay icons: Implementation has been dropped because there's no testcase. Will return if there's real world usage.
## Incomplete features
* Ayatana labels are supported in the panel only.
## Known issues
* ClassicMenu Indicator takes ages to load and has been reported to freeze the shell forever. This is probably caused by the insane amount of embedded PNG icons. Try at your own risk.
* Embedded PNG icon data in menus (as used by Skype, ClassicMenu Indicator and others) can only be handled efficiently in recent gjs versions. Older versions (notably Ubuntu 12.10) will have to use a very ugly and inefficient method.
## Guidelines for bug reports
Since I'm tired of useless reports, you need to provide:
* Your distribution (e.g. "Ubuntu 13.04")
* Your version of GNOME Shell (e.g. "3.6.3")
* The version of the extension (e.g. "v1 from extensions.gnome.org" or "latest git")
* The involved indicator applets (e.g. "My Weather Indicator 0.6.1")
* Detailed description of the bug with instructions how to reproduce it
Bugs which don't provide the necessary information may be closed as "invalid" without prior notice.
## TODO
* Add Localization (You can help there!).
