Can i autostart apps to tray in GNOME?

I have reinstalled appindicators and I love them. Can I autostart apps to the tray?

e.g. flatpak run chat.schildi.desktop

I don't remember Yoda in Morrowind.

You must be kidding; Yoda was one of Morrowind's key characters, alongside Teela, Master Bindo, Mister Rogers, and Maiq the Squid (complete ensemble pictured below).

I thought Gnome got rid of the tray.

Anyways, this probably depends on the application. You'd have to find out if there is a command line option in the application to start it minimised or in tray.

thanks! I just found a source which states the same that the app has to support it. There's no universal command.

Nice

It works for schildichat but not for protonvpn, proton mail bridge or thunderbird

For Thunderbird you can try Birdtray. https://github.com/gyunaev/birdtray/

Yes, just add it to your startup apps

"To the tray"

Only if the application has a "start minimized" option, or something similar. I know Bitwarden has it.

There should be a command line option for it
