Deserves more likes, only issue is there's no way of hiding icons of programs running in the background (all grouped under XApp Status Applet).

it works fine on LMDE 6

Hello and thank you for this. It is working fine on LMUE 21.1 with Cinnamon 5.6.8. BR

Thank you for this applet! It's the only one that currently works on Cinnamon for creating a "drawer" on the task bar. Mint Cinn 20.10. I love that you thought of people who need their panels on the top, or the sides of their screens. (My cat sleeps in front of my TV/monitor so I can't see the bottom.) :D Also, I know it's a lot but I hope you can allow the hidden icons to display status as they do in the system tray. I'd also like to be able to interact with them instead of needing to unhide them first. But this is a very nice applet for now.

Running smoothly in Linux mint 20.1, many thanks for your efforts in developing this excellent applet.

Works great for me. I love minimalism and simplifying my desktop, giving the maximum amount of screen space to content, and this reduces my system tray icons while still having them installed and accessible.

I find this applet to be very useful, it has a lot of options. But (of course there's a but) what i would really like is to be able to hide my systray icons and also be able to use them normally, and not do so many clicks. One to access the hidden icons, one to unhide the one that I need, move the mouse over it, do what I wanna do and then do another click to hide it back up. Just a click to access the hidden icons and (usually) a right click to access the exact app that I need makes so much sense to me. I know that this would mean that we will lose the very convenient way of hiding and unhiding the systray icons, but this is only done rarely, as for accessing the apps one does it multiple times per day

After updating all settings are reset to original settings.

Good applet! It really works! Thank you! But found one problem: in the applet settings I set "Removable drives" is turned off but when any drives is mounted again "Removable drives" icon in the tray is displayed again.
