Modify the sequence of the Ubuntu System Tray

ApplicationIndicators has severe restrictions in Unity. For example, the whitelist of ApplicationIndicators indicates that no icons are displayed on the system tray. (See here for solutions ). Today, we will introduce how to change the order.

Application Indicators has severe restrictions in Unity. For example, the Application Indicators whitelist means that no icons are displayed at the system tray. (See here for solutions ).

Today, we will introduce how to change the order. Let's take a look:

Before modification:

After modification:

 

(Note the icon location of the Ibus input method)

Modification method:

Sudo gedit/usr/share/indicator-application/ordering-override.keyfile then you can get a list like this:

Nm-applet = 1
Gnome-power-manager = 2
Ibus = 3
Gst-keyboard-xkb = 4
Gsd-keyboard-xkb = 5
The numeric value refers to the icon position, from 1 to 5 from right to left.

So you can modify it as needed and insert new things. For example, you can insert my-weather-indicator to the list:

Nm-applet = 1
Gnome-power-manager = 2
Ibus = 3
My-weather-indicator = 4
Gst-keyboard-xkb = 5
Gsd-keyboard-xkb = 6
At present, we only know that ibus is the input method, and other things have not been tested. In addition, you need to know what the new things are, which is troublesome, therefore, you do not need to go about this unless necessary.

Save and exit after modification, and then restart (Make sure ). Then you can see the effect.

Note: This method modifies all users. If you only want to modify it on your own users, create and modify it on your own:

~ /. Local/share/indicators/application/ordering-override.keyfile
