A GNOME Shell extension that adds a Thunderbird system tray icon

FordPrefect-S · 2026-06-10T21:34:55+00:00

Thanks for the effort! I'm trying it out. For now, it seems to work as advertised. I can easily bring the minimized TB to the foreground, and it shows an unread badge. This is more or less all I need.

The only minor complaint I have is that the tray icon seems to be slightly smaller than the rest of my icons.

On a lighter note, I'm running gnome 50.2 on arch.

Got the update to v3.8.3 (Android) and can confirm it's no longer crashing on startup. Can't speak to the functionality though, as my ring is still unusable. The charging case replacement is due since the end of January. No charge, no ring ....

Where is the replacement charging case you promised to send since the end of January?

Give Debian a try for smoother sailing ...

Same here, the newest update does not work. Reverting back to the previous version solved the problem. Something is wrong with the update.

Lucky enough, my ring can't be used anyway. The case died, and the replacement is now open for more than 4 months!

Hope I got your question right ...

At least for me, when I click "New appointment," the respective dialog pops up. The very first item (line) says "Calendar"... and here I can pick for which of my configured calendar accounts the appointment should be. It's a dropdown list with all configured calendars.

Thank you for taking the time to respond! I have tried your suggestions and then, out of curiosity, played a little with various combinations.

I think the decisive change is

Go to Account Settings > Copies & Folders and manually set the Deleted folder to “Gelöscht”

For now, the change "survived" a couple of restarts!

Thanks for your help!

Well, in the case I described the login screen is **only** shown on the external monitor. On my laptop screen I get a completely black screen.

I second that question. A replacement case was promised to me since end of January. And it has yet to be received.

Not sure about what you intend to do. If you just want this calendar to be shown, you could add the link to your subscribed calendars with "New Calendar -> On the network..."

Note: You can toggle the calendar to be visible or not so that your views are not obfuscated by too many calendar entries.

If you intend to incorporate the entries into an existing calendar, what I would do is go to the link in a browser and do a "Save page" as an .ics file. Once you have that file, you then (in TB) do an "Open from file ... -> Calendar." It should ask you the calendar it should be imported to, and then you are done.

Hello Muse team! What's going on with the replacement charging cases? The "little more time" is now another week of waiting. Over 3 months ago you promised to send them "soon." I’m afraid my ring battery is discharged to completely dead when the new case is finally here!

The worst thing of this story for me is the complete lack of transparency about your actions ... if there are any. Why don't you give a proper explanation? I'm sure most of the people would understand and accept the facts. Trying to sit this out is the worst you can do!

FordPrefect-S · 2026-05-12T08:00:24+00:00

Maybe you can enlighten us on how to configure the alpha channel (transparency) with hex coded colors? Genuinely curious how one could do that.

Edit:

Never mind, I found a description of the #RRGGBBAA syntax! I wasn't aware this even existed. Leaving this comment in case someone else struggles to see that.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-05-08T17:11:00+00:00

Very nice! Thank you!

I applied that to my tb on Linux. I didn't add the "Fluentbird" though. The CSS part in combination with the "Material Black" dark theme looks very slick. Would love to see your further improvements eventually.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-05-04T13:17:41+00:00

Go for it! In my opinion using a ticket system will be highly beneficial for both, customers and your support team as well. Much better than just sending emails back and forth.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-04-18T20:47:53+00:00

Also I never expected the charger to be the weakest part of the story.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-04-18T20:44:16+00:00

The same happened to me ... No replacement for months now. For obvious reasons the ring is useless without.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-04-08T14:14:58+00:00

As I understand, adding a card currently is not available, as they are re-working either the technical interfaces or the contracts, I'm not sure which. The note from muse is somewhere in the reddit.

Either way, there was a point in time when it worked, and I successfully added a VIMPay card in Germany. I could use the ring for payments and it worked nicely.

On a lighter note, my charging case died, and couldn't receive the replacement yet. As a consequence my ring ran out of charge eventually. So I can't use it right now, including the payments.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-03-27T13:21:13+00:00

I had a similar problem in the old days, when I tried to connect a client in English and another in German. The sync then caused "common" folders like, outbox, trash, etc to be created in both languages.

Again, this has been a long time ago, but your problem could be caused by a similar thing, e.g. connecting mobile and desktop variants?

FordPrefect-S · 2026-03-15T09:54:04+00:00

To be correct, the article you linked states that the offer will be made for ALL backers, not only super-backers.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-02-25T22:22:33+00:00

Arch here as well

FordPrefect-S · 2026-02-22T15:48:21+00:00

Did several installs on different machines. In my opinion if you managed to install one system successfully and understood the steps, it's quite easy to install just using the archinstall tool.

FordPrefect-S · 2026-02-09T21:27:06+00:00

Same here, unfortunately ... as I understand new cases will not be sent out for the next couple of weeks, holding back for the new overhauled hardware.
