Gnome Shell: show skype icon

Question

I need to show icons for Skype, Empathy and Dropbox in my system tray (top side). I've read about Gnome Shell extension to show icons in my system tray on the different websites, but this isn't working for me.

I am using: Ubuntu 12.10 + Gnome Shell 3.6.1

These instructions haven't helped me (perhaps it was a problem in backwards compatibility changes in Gnome Shell version).

Solution 1

This extension should work fine.

Solution 2

For Unity (not Gnome Shell, 17.10+) you could try running

gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist "['all']"

Then re-login.

This would make all system tray icons visible

But this is not Unity panel. This is different project- Gnome Shell, not Unity.

I've tried this. It is not helped. I have see icon on the bottom panel, but not on the top panel.

It seems this extension with the same name is better maintained.
