[SOLVED] Delete, not hide, Status Tray items?

All of the Status Tray items that I want to see are non-hidden; The ones that I don't want to see are hidden. This would be fine, but the hidden items all get collected in to a chevron that I can't make disappear. The items that I have hidden are those that I never want to see. Is there any way to make the Status Tray only show non-hidden items and never even hint at hidden items existing? If I could just hide the chevron, all would be well.

Re: [SOLVED] Delete, not hide, Status Tray items?

The optimal solution is for the application that creates the systray item to have an option to disable it.

Otherwise, you can use a css tweak to hide the chevron. Assuming a horizontal panel, the following works for me to hide remove the chevron:

#systray-6>box  {margin-right: -15px}

You would put this code in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css and restart the panel.

You will need to change the "6" to the appropriate widget ID for your systray, and tweak the "-15" to suit.
