Show Wine (Windows) System Tray in Ubuntu 16.04

  • 772

I cannot figure out how to see and access Wine apps minimised to the windows system tray. Any ideas?

I have a clean install of Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with a windows application running on Wine and installed through PlayOnLinux. That application minimises to the windows system tray. However, once minimised, that application is not shown on the Launcher or in the Unity Application Indicator (I believe that's the correct name for the system-tray that sits on the top right corner). The application is still shown on System Monitor so I know it's still running.

    This indicator extension organizes system tray icons into a drop down, which solves this problem for me with Wine apps. Thanks to Gleb Golovachev
