Is it possible to check/wait for the tray to be available?

[Hubro]

If waybar is too slow to start (and currently it's extremely slow to start because of this bug), the tray won't be available when my autostart applications launch. When Waybar finally starts, I have no icons in the tray. This makes it a huge pain to use several applications, like Dropbox, Discord, Teamspeak etc.

Is there any way to detect if the tray is available, so I can delay starting my applications?

I no longer need this

Interesting, I came here because of this issue. Tray takes too long to start so apps start before tray is available. How did you solve it?

@pmatos I think in my case the root cause was this: NVIDIA/egl-wayland#47

I pinned this package to version 1.1.7 on my laptop, which resolved this issue. This was a while ago though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Have you tried 1.1.11? Do you still get the slowdown. I do. Unfortunately I don't think it's trivial to revert to an old version on Arch. Will take a look.

I downloaded the old package from the Arch Linux Archives and installed it with pacman -O (iirc) then I pinned the version in the pacman config so it doesn't get updated.

I'm still running that version, I haven't tried upgrading. I would test, but I'm not currently using that laptop.

TIL about pacman -O, thanks.
