Grouping Tray Icons

By Joseph Russell

Is there a setting/app/extension that will let me group my "tray icons" similar to how Windows does it?

I know a lot of folks like to keep background processes to a minimum, but there are quite a few things that I like to keep running to perform my daily tasks.

I'm afraid if I add a few more, the icons will start to encroach on the clock.

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS x86_64 and I'm kind of a Linux newbie.

THANKS!

You may try the Gnome shell extension 'Tray Icons: Reloaded' by MartinPL. The extension has 'overflow' mode that groups tray icons if it is more than three.
