How to separate system icons in top bar

  • 772

I would like to separate the system icons in the top bar, that is wifi, bluetooth, sound and battery, to have 4 different clickable icons.

I saw this extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1201/extend-panel-menu/, but it doesn't work in Ubuntu 19.10. I have other extensions installed, so I know how to set them, and I'm sure I did nothing wrong installing the extension. In fact, in the comments of that extension, I'm not the only one complaining that it doesn't work right now.

Is there any other way to do it?

Any kind of help would be appreciated, thank you

gnome top-bar

    I found another extension to do it.

    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2416/panel-indicators/.

    Anyone who need to do this, you can install that extension

  2. The perfect answer is Big Sur Status Area which is compatible with the new Gnome 42 and is a fork of a fork (double fork) of the old Panel Indicators:
    https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/4085/big-sur-status-area/

    This:
    https://github.com/Ordissimo/Big-Sur-StatusArea
    is a fork of:
    https://github.com/Fausto-Korpsvart/Big-Sur-StatusArea
    which is a fork of:
    https://github.com/lvitals/panel-indicators

    There is a major bug with this extension that I promptly reported on GitHub:
    https://github.com/Ordissimo/Big-Sur-StatusArea/issues/95
    I hope it will be useful to someone.
