How to install and enable Gnome system tray icons in Debian 10

If you have Debian 10 installed with Gnome you probably do not have system tray icons at the top right corner. You need to install and enable ‘gnome-shell-extension-appindicator’.

The solution steps:

1- sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-appindicator

* you might need to log out and back in again for gnome to see the extension.

2- search tweaks in your Activities screen

3- Switch to Extensions

4- Enable Kstatusnotifieritem/appindicator support

Done.
