SysTray-X

SysTray-X is a system tray extension for Thunderbird 68+. The addon uses the WebExtension API's to control an external system dependent system tray application.

The addon and system tray application can do:

  • custom new mail icon
  • display number of unread mails
  • show / hide Thunderbird (minimize)
  • minimizing hides to tray (remove Thunderbird from taskbar when minimized)
  • minimize on startup
  • minimize on close

Known issues

Some Gnome status / application bars do not respect the "remove from taskbar X11 atom (_NET_WM_STATE_SKIP_TASKBAR)". So Thunderbird stays always visible when minimized.

  • Ubuntu Gnome (red status dot stays visible) Please be aware that the icon always will be visible because is a launchbar also...
  • CentOS Gnome (Thunderbird stays visible in the taskbar)

Binaries (System)
