Annoying Viber notification

Can I somehow put Viber notification icon on top of the Unity panel (near Dropbox and others)?! It's pretty ugly to stay in top left corner...


Solution - use Viber wrapper to launch the program

To fix this, you need to install Viber Indicator package, which is a wrapper for Viber.

Once it's installed, use viberwrapper-indicator (showing gray icon in the notification area) instead of viber (which shows the purple icon).

You may also later add viberwrapper-indicator to startup programms.

Installation

Here's how to install the indicator wrapper via PPA:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install viberwrapper-indicator

Alternatively download the .deb file, and install it manually:

  • Index of /nilarimogard/webupd8/ubuntu/pool/main/v/viberwrapper-indicator

After the download of the .deb file: sudo dpkg -i viberwrapper-indicator_0.1.1-git20150611-webupd8-0_amd64.deb

After installation it will look like you - and others would - want it:

Note the new icon in the notification area.
