[Solved] Plasma notifications icon not showing in panel

Postby hviaene » Oct 13th, '21, 15:35

I've been looking in Plasma's notification settings and since a few days, I am stuck.
The notification applet is there allright in the panel, but its icon does not show up. There is now an empty space in the panel, in my case between the KAlarm and the net_applet. It is there becausee when I click on it, the notifications pop up, or with right-click the setting options pop up. But the notifications only pop up when I click on the invisible applet icon. I'd liked to return to the default settings, but it eludes me.

This can occur if you have changed your plasma/icon theme and this icon is missing there.
Make sure that the icon is present in the respective theme folder. e.g. for Oxygen:
Code: Select all
/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/oxygen/icons/notification.svgz

I am using Oxygen, and the file you indicated is there at the location shown. IIRC what triggered it, was that I opened the dislogue to define the position, but I did not make any change. I just tried the same operation and the result is now that the icon is now really gone ffrom the panel.

What happens when you force the visibility of the notification icon in the system tray?

Did you already try to remove the system tray and add a new one?

Adding a new tray and deleting the old one did the trick, Tx a lot.
