go-appindicator
Go bindings for libappindicator3 C library.
Libappindicator is a library to allow applications to export a menu into the Unity Menu bar. Based on KSNI it also works in KDE and will fallback to generic Systray support if none of those are available.
Also it works in:
- Unity
- GNOME Shell with this extension
- Budgie Desktop with this applet
- MATE with this applet
- Xfce with this plugin
This package aims to be interoperable with Go gtk3 bindings.
