Hi Umang,

Thanks for helping out.

Xpad is a GTK application and uses the GtkStatusIcon [1] to show the
tray icon with a menu and keyboard shortcuts. This is a GTK feature.
Therefor I disagree that tray-icons have nothing to do with GTK.

I am interested in a guide to replace the deprecated GtkStatusIcon, with
something that works for the most common desktop environments and is
easy to replace the current GtkStatusIcon in Xpad.

Is the libappindicator that replacement?
If so, is there a detailed guide how to migrate from GtkStatusIcon to libappindicator ?
Will the libappindicator work for most common desktop environments, such as?

Gnome (GTK)
KDE Plasma (QT)
Cinnamon
Mate
Unity
Xfce
Lxqt (Qt)
Enlightenment
Pantheon

If not, which approach would you suggest?
