I am experiencing some strangeness with the Adwaita tray icons of VLC and volumeicon. They disappeared from the tray around this summer (unfortunately no precise data here) and I needed to revert to the latest working package adwaita-icon-theme-41.0-1-any.pkg.tar.zst for those icons to work again.
My environment is using stalonetray and a very simple window manager (no Gnome, no KDE whatsoever).
Old school. Me, too. :-)
Are others impacted as well ? Any clue how to get back on track ?
Interestingly last week some apps suddenly showed completely black windows: simple-scan and pavucontrol, and i had to revert to older packages to make them work again. Are those phenomena related?
Another possibility is that your applications are starting to use the Status Notifier Icon API. From my ~/.xinit file: # iwgtk does Status Notifier Icon, but some system trays # (*cough*, tint2, stalonetray, *cough*) don't, so we use # snixembed instead snixembed & sleep $delay So maybe install snixembed from AUR[0]?
