    Appindictator is an extension. There’ll likely be an extension which adds them to the top bar.

    This implementation of background apps seems to pretty close to current systray implementations, so I hope those others will finally be replaced.

      Tho it only works with Flatpak or apps that use portals. It’ll not replace appindicator soon

        This is the most annoying thing imo. I like the new proposal… but I want to know all my apps that are in the background. I won’t without other extensions still. I just want things to just work lol.

      What’s the benefit in replacing one extension with another in order to achieve the same thing? Real progress would be an option in the default Gnome shell to show the background apps directly in the top bar without any additional clicks.
