No tray icon in desktop environments lacking app indicator

gavinhungry

Electron 22 included a new implementation for Tray icons using StatusNotifierItem, with no fallback for desktop environments that do not support it (e.g. i3).

As a result, with 1Password 8.10.0 (Electron/22.0.0), I have no tray icon in i3, but I do with 1Password 8.9.14 (Electron/21.2.2).

I raised a support ticket for this issue and was told today that the problem is known and being worked on. Is it possible to download the previous version in the meantime?

I just tried the beta 8.10.1-1 and it seems to fix the problem.

I've been sticking to 8.9.14 for now, but good to know that the beta seems to have it resolved. Thanks for the update!

Hey folks, thanks for reaching out. As @cbalmforth mentioned, this is a known issue and should be fixed in a future stable release 👍
