I have same issue too. I thought it is because i built with CMake. It seems like there is something wrong. Tray icon is clickable but it won't load png file. Ubuntu 18.04 |
|
Tray icons are a bit tricky across distros. I will try to find a solution. In the meantime, any help, investigation, and debugging are appreciated. |
|
I have same issue too. |
|
Same issue here too. Slackware64 Current |
|
Well, we can use system theme whatsapp icons and use ours as fallback but not every theme has some custom whatsapp icons. What do you guys think? |
|
The default extension for Gnome somehow doesn't work and I reported this here: ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator#232 (comment). For now, a workaround for gnome is using TopIcons Plus Extension |

Well, I introduced a fallback mechanism with 3face99 for now. If anyone could try and let me know if it's well enough, would be nice so that we can make a new release. |
|
The issue still remains on Ubuntu 18.04
|
Thanks a lot! What do you use as an icon theme, and extension to display tray icons? |
|
I was using ubuntu-mono-dark(default one). Now i changed it to "kora". It works fine now.
|
|
Alright, let's live with it for now since I don't want to put a lot of effort into something which is not well supported by DEs or even extensions... Well, of course, please submit a PR if you see any improvement. |

Is there a workaround for this issue? Any file I can manually copy somewhere? Kora icons does not fix the issue for me. (using latest version of xfce on Manjaro). Anyway the current icon theme does have the whatsapp icon, as the app looks well in the window list and in the apps menu. It just shows a black rectangle in the system tray: |
|
same here. It is showing 3 dots. I'm using topicon plus and nothing. Ubuntu 21.04 here. |

@d-packs @alansenairj can you tell me how did you install app? Via make or snap? |
|
via ubuntu store, I think it uses snap to install this package. |
|
Via AUR on Arch Linux

Same issue here.

@taffarel55 how did you install app? Via snap store? I think problem is at snap side. It probably does not register icon and find it. Need to look where icon resources in snap installation. auto const trayPixbuf = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_resource("/main/image/tray/whatsapp-for-linux-tray.png");
auto const attentionPixbuf = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_resource("/main/image/tray/whatsapp-for-linux-tray-attention.png");It should load default indicator-message package. Could you guys check if indicator-message package is installed? Command is If this is not the case, we can insert few debug messages and update snap installation to see what causes this. |

Hello @berkeyvx! I installed via community arch on Manjaro. I think I don't have this package installed, I looked for this package and I couldn't find it for arch. What can I do? |
|
As soon as possible, I will install fresh copy of your OS and this app to solve this problem. In this time, can you try to install via CMake? Clone the repository and follow the steps If last step fails, try |
|
Yes, I can install via CMake! @berkeyvx |

on latest deb the same problem on debian 11 xfce |
|
I confirm that in Debian Sid (unstable) your deb package works fine for tray icon system. I has the snap version, so after read here that you have a deb package, I uninstalled snap package and installed deb package. Now I have a tray icon in my KDE. The other question was that now I haven't the window bottons, at right-top side in the window. Anyway, is a "minor" problem. |
|
Hi @berkeyvx. The path we use there are included in the application binary and should be visible from snap as well. However, the solution is not really that straightforward. We already do some extra checks to see what could be the existing tray icon in the system which I don't like very much already. The solution lies in understanding how indicator extensions for Ubuntu work as it already works in other systems. |

Running Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon and installed the .deb package found under releases, I don't see a tray icon. |
|
@eneshecan on Manjaro (and I assume any arch-based distro) these are the files created by the package: From @berkeyvx 's post above I can see the icons paths are hardcoded. Is this the case (or this is only in snap)? Can you make this variable? At least look in more locations? Also, there doesn't seem to be any file ending with

|
Possibly fixed by 0fb38b9 |
|
@eneshecan can you update snap version? I tried to install and test using snap, It installed the 1.3.2 version which is published on 2 January 2022 |
Yes, I'll update soon. |
|
I just created a release and saw that the snap application properly displays the tray icon. Could you please confirm? @berkeyvx |
|
It does not display, weird Version: whatsapp-for-linux 1.4.0 |
What are you using as an extension for displaying tray icons? I use the default one that comes with ubuntu. |
Me too, but i am not sure. How can i check? |
|
Ah, I see the reason, you are right, it shouldn't work. It worked for me because I installed deb package first and that placed the tray icons into the system. When I remove those, I get the error; |
|
Did I mention before that I hate snaps? :( Maybe related: ubuntu/gnome-shell-extension-appindicator#176 |

You can contribute instead of being annoying. Otherwise, keep your negative attitude to yourself. |

Hello! Icon on tray not show. OS: Manjaro 23.1.3 Tray icons installed with whatsapp-for-linux-bin: Is there any way I can help to fix this problem? |
I installed ayatana-indicator-messages and then the icon appeared. But it looks like a letter.
|
Tray icon was completely missing, just a clickable black space. After -> Correct Whatsapp icon appeared after a whatsapp restart. Everything else is working so far. |
