  • ok! i've solved! i dont know how, but it works. first i remove all dropbox installation, i remove dropbox-nautilus. on second thing i'd made, the old loki workaround "elementary-dropbox" uses some iconpacks, so i found the PPA and install all icon-themes(moka, paper, and many more).... after i restart the "elementary-dropbox" installation without any tray.... i shutdown my laptop, the nex day i poweron it, and tadaaaaa! the magic! so i think, it is a combination of some iconpack, elementary-dropbox workaround and Wingpanel-indicator-ayatana workaround, thats all

  • PS i'd also edited /usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop changing the line Exec like this #Exec=dropbox start -i Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE='' dropbox start -i that's all id' made.

Try this workaround from Matt Harris. I've tested with Skype and it works.

    This did not work for me in Juno. The old answer still works perfectly though: elementaryos.stackexchange.com/a/32/9

  • Update: the old answer no longer works apparently. This is extremely frustrating.

This thing was very annoying to me and I decided to create this simple native wing-panel indicator. It is not perfect but it works very well and I'm still improving, you can try it!

the "problem" is Wingpanel-indicator-ayatana.

see this: Elementary OS 5.0 and Hardware Sensors Indicator

is applicable to almost all wingpanel "problems"

This is because the creators of elementary os think bigger than steam, dropbox, skype, mega, "several famous applications commonly used by users", etc.

Have a nice day.
