Ubuntu 17.04 Menu Bar Fix

menubar.md

Can't see the slack icon or gitter icon or any electron app's icon in your menubar?

Just add env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity to your .desktop files.

  1. Open /usr/share/applications/gitter.desktop
  2. Add env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity immediately after the equal sign on the line that starts with Exec=
  3. Restart gitter from your gui

So that line should go from Exec=/opt/Gitter/linux64/Gitter to Exec=env XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity /opt/Gitter/linux64/Gitter
