Ayatana indicators for apps , tlp, tlp UI , slimbook battery - works on DELL not only Slimbooks. It should work on all laptops.
Copy all bolded text below:
mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart && cp /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop ~/.config/autostart/ && sed -i 's/^OnlyShowIn.*/OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;/' ~/.config/autostart/indicator-application.desktop && wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wingpanel-indicator-ayatana/wingpanel-indicator-ayatana_2.0.3+r27+pkg17~ubuntu0.4.1.1_amd64.deb && sudo dpkg -i wingpanel-indicator-ayatana_2.0.3+r27+pkg17~ubuntu0.4.1.1_amd64.deb && systemctl reboot
then type in terminal
cd /home/yourusername
sudo vi indicators.sh
press ins button to go into insert mode
press ctrl+shift+v to paste
press esc button to escape insert mode
type
:wq
this will write and quit the file

sudo chmod +x indicators.sh
