And Stay Out!
The effort of Ayatana and Ubuntu developers has finally paid off. Since the new keyboard indicator has landed in Maverick and I previously replaced network-manager with connman/indicator-network, at last I could ditch the ugly, now-empty notification area on my GNOME panel, and leave only the indicators.
None of the applications I use now make use of the notification area. If I do find some that do, I’ll try to fix that before Maverick release; gwget comes to mind, but really it’s quite old by itself and what I need is a new, slick-looking download manager. Now, if only there was a way to hide individual indicators to reduce clutter… (Hint, hint.)




I also use only indicators :D
had to fix some old themes because the space between them was too much
