<h1>Linux Is <span class="not">Not</span> About <span class="systray">SysTray</span></h1>
<p>Desktop environments are removing support for the legacy GtkStatusIcon (aka system tray). However, there are many new, capable, cross-desktop APIs that replace the functionality previously provided by tray icons. Here you can find a list of replacement APIs and see how well-supported they are.</p>
