Shawn Bird / Pride System Icon · GitLab
gitlab.com
Add a pride flag to the system tray of most Linux environments.

Just a little system tray icon to show support for the LGBTQ+ community.

Originally created last year as a simple one-off project in response to Windows 11 users getting mad about a pride icon appearing on their task bar.

This year I remade it in Go, added support for Windows (7 and up), and improved compatibility with a variety of Linux environments.

Let me know what you think, or don’t, just please be nice about it.

    Nobody needs it, but some people like it.

    Last year Windows added a pride icon to the taskbar of some Windows 11 users, and people in the Linux community were having a laugh over the angry reactions, but some Linux-enjoyers mentioned that they’d actually like the option of adding a pride icon. I wrote a simple python script and shared it.

    Over the past year multiple people have said they liked the little icon in my system tray, so this year I decided to spruce up the project and make it compatible with Windows. It’s just a silly little aesthetic option for anyone who wants it.
