▲ 75 ▼ Pride System Icon (gitlab.com) submitted 2 years ago by absentbird@lemm.ee to c/foss@beehaw.org 23 comments fedilink hide all child comments Just a little system tray icon to show support for the LGBTQ+ community. Originally created last year as a simple one-off project in response to Windows 11 users getting mad about a pride icon appearing on their task bar. This year I remade it in Go, added support for Windows (7 and up), and improved compatibility with a variety of Linux environments. Let me know what you think, or don’t, just please be nice about it.

Last year Windows added a pride icon to the taskbar of some Windows 11 users, and people in the Linux community were having a laugh over the angry reactions, but some Linux-enjoyers mentioned that they'd actually like the option of adding a pride icon. I wrote a simple python script and shared it. Over the past year multiple people have said they liked the little icon in my system tray, so this year I decided to spruce up the project and make it compatible with Windows. It's just a silly little aesthetic option for anyone who wants it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Maddier1993@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago Rare Microsoft Win... permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hedlosa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 26 points 2 years ago (1 child) You may not need it, but some of us want it as an option :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] syd@lemy.lol 14 points 2 years ago I like having options even if I don’t need it too :) 👍 permalink fedilink source parent [–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 4 points 2 years ago OBS adds a system tray icon to let you know it's recording This program adds a system tray icon to let you know you're gay permalink fedilink source parent
