SUMMARY unable to disable microphone indicator. i don't need it and i want not to just hide it but to disable completely SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: gentoo KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0 Qt Version: 5.15.5
How have you tried to disable it? Is the standard method not working?
Created attachment 159579 [details] no "disabled" button for Microphone systray applet
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > How have you tried to disable it? Is the standard method not working? Yes, I expected an option "disabled" like the one any other systray's entry applet have, but there isn't (see attachment #1 [details]). The only way to disable this for me is to go systemsettings > startup and shutdown > background services, and disable the "status notifier manager" but that would prevent any applications like ktorrent from having their systray applet, and I want to just disable the microphone applet.

Git commit 13a2b93ec46bc529e5f95cadd58e2b359626dcd3 by Nate Graham. Committed on 14/03/2025 at 14:42. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. applets/systemtray: allow fully disabling app SNIs Some people don't like app-provided SNIs, but some apps don't offer an option internally to disable their SNI. This is annoying. As such, offer the option to hide app-provided SNIs from the System Tray. When the user does this, a message will be shown warning them that it's at their own risk since it could break the app. Implementation-wise, the cleanest way I found was to save the list of disabled SNIs in a new config file key, rather than adding them to the existing extraItems key; extraItems was designed to only hold plasmoid IDs, and re-engineering it to accept SNI IDs as well ended up being much more complex and fragile.
