why is the system tray in elementary Juno not like the previous version, in the previous version the system tray can display VLC, RadioTray and others? is there a way to show the system tray again?

About system tray icons. In release-juno, elementaryOS dropped the support of the old Ayatana Indicators
While the software devs implement the new way you can have them back by...
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yunnxx/elementary
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install indicator-application wingpanel-indicator-ayatana
then you need to edit the file /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop, find the line:
OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;
Add Pantheon:
OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;
Or use sed for a one liner:
sudo sed -i -e 's/OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;/OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;/g' /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop
Restart X:
sudo service lightdm restart
Or reboot.

Sorry I've missed
OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;only hadOnlyShowIn=Pantheon;. Thanks it works like a charm, but the spacing between icons are very large Jul 23, 2019 at 10:27 -

sudo service lightdm restartto restart X. That logged me out. When I logged back in my dock disappeared. After a system restart, everything works nicely. Thanks!– taariOct 28, 2019 at 5:26
the network icon was duplicated, how to leave only what is native to the system?
