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.

    How do I compile from source? I would like to see that in the readme

      It uses a makefile, you can just type make while in the pride-system-icon directory.

      On Windows you may need to install GNU make first.

      You’ll need to have Go installed, I’ve added a vendor directory to make it easier. The compiled files will be placed in dist/windows/prideicon.exe and dist/linux/prideicon

      Here are the commands to compile without using make:

      go build -mod vendor -tags linux -o prideicon
      go build -mod vendor -tags windows -ldflags -H=windowsgui -o prideicon.exe

          I also added a section to the project readme, thanks for the suggestion.
