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.

    To me it looks like one of that cases when a law (a rule in this case) is kind of obeyed but not how it’s supposed to be obeyed and the intention of the action actually does violate it.

      It seemed like other people were sharing their open source projects here. If it’s against the rules I can post it somewhere else.

        I’ve looked a bit into the past of this community and there’s quite a bunch of open source projects shared here and none of them had people in the comments complaining about that. Honestly just seems like thinly veiled queer hate to me.

          I believe this post might have violated the first rule of this community so I said that. I could’ve just reported silently but imo what I said wasn’t toxic. Imo accusing me in “veiled queer hate” for it does nothing except for showing what kind of a person you are. And what’s interesting is that such accusations, alongside with most of the very negative reactions, start coming only after approximately 12 AM UTC which is the time when it’s morning in American regions… Extremely suspicious statistics I got here.

          Anyways this time I want to kindly ask you not to accuse people just like that and actually think before saying something. Everything you say without proper analysis may hurt you or other people. I hope you have a good day.

            Re proper analysis: Intentional or not, you did a homophobia in plain sight. Just eat the humble pie and give the weird conspiracies a rest.

              I didn’t do any homophobia there. You’re just accusing me for fun or something idk. I won’t fight with you because I think that’s what you want. I would highly recommend you getting a Twitter/X account.

              EDIT: there is an admin who confirmed that this post does indeed violate the rules in the comments.
