Works in Mint 21, as far as I can tell. Unfortunately you cannot really pick and choose which program icons can be visible. It's either all, or none. Still, you can pick and choose which applet icons are hidden. It's something.

It's not working on Linux Mint Linux Mint 21.1 with Cinnamon 5.6.8. It used to work great in older versions and did the job very well. Any workaround or any log that I can send to help the implementation?

Addition: The configuration is not like "Collabsibe Systray", where each app can be taken in or out individually, but in the bar edit mode it can be moved to an "almost" arbitrary position, from which then left of it all tray icons are hidden. But this serves its purpose especially for notebooks. Thanks again for this applet!

Thanks for this helpfull App! Now, Todaay I recognized, however it works with LM 21.1, Cinnamon 5.6.7, with all Updates installed. First it doesn't work in LM 21.0 and 21.1, everytime the Cinnamon Desktop restarted. I tried it as a replacement for the also since Mint 21.x not working Applet "Collapsible Systray", which still works with Mint 20.x.

It used to work great in Linux Mint 20.x, but it doesn't work in Linux Mint 21. :(

Refuses to work for me on Mint Cinn 20.10. Tried installing collapsible system tray, and tried moving this applet to the right of all my system tray icons. Nothing happened. Doesn't work on the side panels either. "Hideable applets" works great though!

Well, this still works pretty much as intended for me, using a normal Mint setup, no custom systray. (I'm on Mint 20.1, Cinnamon 4.8.6, kernel: 5.4) However, since it's function is based on what's on the Left-side of it's placement, it has rather limited use-scenarios, kinda requires us to layout the taskbar a specific way. It hides/expands icons to the Left of it, so if you use a weather-applet, you have to carefully consider where things are placed if you don't want that hidden too. heh My suggestion, please add a Left/Right toggle in the configuration menu. This way we could choose which side/direction it hides stuff. Personally, I would prefer to use this on the far-right side of my panel, and have it hide things to the Right of it, so I can expand from that side instead of having it hide things from the left side of those icons. Also, for people who use the panel/taskbar along the Left or Right sides of the screen, instead of top or bottom, it would be VERY useful if the Left/Right toggle option I suggested, could also auto-detect the bar being in a vertical orientation, and switch to being Up/Down, for those situations. ;)

Doesn't work with regular System Tray, only with Collapsible Systray. With the regular one, it hides the status icons, but if the tray is to the left of it, it won't open. Obviously with collapsible you then have two layers to open or, if you don't hide any apps in it, you're gonna have to have that pencil icon there, which is annoying.

Works perfectly on my Mint 19.3 setup. Really nice! One very minor hassle: the method of clicking and dragging icons doesn't work with the Flameshot icon as clicking on it triggers a screen capture.

Yeah, this Cinnamon applet is begging for an update. It doesn't work on Mint 19.1. I've tried leaving my systray icons to the left of the drawer icon, enabled Panel Edit mode and dragged the arrow icon to the right of the systray ones, but nothing happens. I also posted a thread about this issue on GitHub.

In my experience it only works with Collapsible Systray. The regular one prevents it from opening for some reason. I'm on Mint 19.3.

In Cinnamon 4.0.10, all I get are the options click boxes, no show/hide applets, highlight, remove or the last Buttons. Thus I can't hide any applets. Bummer.

Super useful, works great! I have one minor suggestion: my panel is vertical (on the left side of the screen), and this applet works as intended, but it would be nice to have the option to have the arrow icon point up or down, instead of left and right as it normally is

When show/hide applet is installed in Linux Mint 18.2, it reduces the Update Manager icon in size. Moving another applet in panel edit mode restores the Update Manager icon to its full size until panel edit mode is switched off. This occurs only with this particular applet. Apart from that it works fine. Thank you.

Same issue as Simon. Love the idea but can't find how/where to add apps to this.

Use panel edit mode and drag the drawer icon to the right of any apps you wish to keep hidden. When you stop panel edit mode it will collapse all items to the left of the icon.

How do you hide applets with this? I see no way to do it. I've tried dragging them onto this applet and I've looked for a configurable list in the settings. What am I missing?
