I like the Gnote is a great application but unfortunately has no app icon, I would like to know if there is any alternative to Gnote working in the systray of Unity.

Note: Tomboy is not an option

Try Zim Install zim. It's more of a wiki type application, but it's great for taking notes, and will work with Unity's appindicators.

  • @JoZ3 that's odd. Zim is normally very quick.

You can use use Gnote and enable its systray icon. Here's how you do it, run this in the terminal:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'gnote']"

In the future, any other app you want to have a systray icon for in Unity, run the same command, just add your app onto the end like so:

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['JavaEmbeddedFrame', 'Mumble', 'Wine', 'Skype', 'hp-systray', 'gnote', 'YOUR_APPLICATION']"

Every app in there will be whitelisted to show its systray icon. You can get the current whitelist entries with the following command:

gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
