Dear Maintainer,

When installed in Debian Buster with Gnome desktop environment,
system tray icon does not work out of the box for Gnome desktop environment.
That is, no icon is displayed.

At times I got it working by installing various unofficial compatibility Gnome
system tray
extensions/solutions.

I suspect that Gnome API for system tray is changed and Flameshot is still
using the old API.

Hello,
had a similar issue. Two things are needed to get it working:

1) Install "gnome-tweaks", start it and enable the "Ubuntu appindicators" extension.
2) Edit the file ~/.config/autostart/Flameshot.desktop and replace the "Exec" line to delay the startup a litte:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=flameshot
Icon=flameshot
#Exec=flameshot
Exec=bash -c "sleep 10 && flameshot"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
StartupNotify=false

Good luck!
