Annoying black arrow.

Hi. I like to keep my panel clean, remove all excess indicators. 
And this arrow in system tray annoys me too much.

I like unity\cinnamon\xfce system tray. They do not have pop-up windows with extra indicators. It looks clean.
So, I would like to remove that pop-up list and that black arrow. 

Yes, I can just remove items from it in System Tray Settings (like KDE connect, or Device notifier), so when no items left to show in pop-up window - it disappears. But if only one extra-indicator left - it will be present. 

I think it is not correct to keep arrow element and pop-up window for only one component. I want to have such items like Battery indicator or updates, but not in pop-up window. I want to see all of them on the panel. 

So I wish it will be an option to show all hidden components of system tray on the panel. All of them, or set quantity of items that will be shown on panel manually (others will be hidden).

Thanks for the suggestion but it's too niche of an option to add this and it creates some usability problems when people can't find their code.

How about another version of system tray, where all elements displayed on
panel?
Like Application Launcher. We have three options there, named as
"Alternatives".
It was added to satisfy different users taste (personally I prefer Dash).
Why not to add alternative "classic system tray" with same purpose? :)

P.S. Sorry, did not get "people can't find their code". In what sense? My
English is far from perfect...
