All normal entries on system tray config have a disable option, but application specific ones (i.e octopi or discord) don’t, is there anyway to also disable those?
those individual apps should have a control for that you can turn off.
my music play can put an icon in the system tray if i let it… i do not.
I have multiple screens and multiple system trays, I would like to hide it only on specific ones not on all of them, this would only be accomplishable configuring the system tray not the application itself I think
if you have added multiple panels with the system tray widget, i think you get the same widget in each instance… you would have to see if there is a 2nd copy of the system tray particulars in some config file and maybe edit that manually to make them different.
best i can offer you is this tip from my notes on how to identify recently changed files to begin your hunt.
#to find the last 10 recently changed files from a config change or fat fingered file save
find -type f -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -n | tail -10
No, I get multiple instances and can control the visibility of each entry individually and differently between the system tray on each of my screens. I would like to hide the entries that are created by thisrd parties on only one of teh screens as the other entries I can control independently.
Hi - if you open up your System Tray (Status and Notifications), click the settings icon, and then choose the Entries option from the sidebar, do you get a screen like this?
Asking as I’m able to control whether or not Proton Mail Bridge shows up using that ability, so hopefully that would work for you too?
can confirm… if i turn on system tray icon in clementine, i now have the ability to set it’s entry behavior in the system tray configuration.
did not expect that 
still turning it off tho.
Always hidden still does so it appears on this system tray, I have them set to that. I am trying to understand if is there a way to set the application specific ones to disabled, in the same way you can set the system ones, as so it does not show in this system tray at all, be it on the shown or hidden area.
Ah, I see what you’re talking about now with the Disabled choice specifically. For reference, take a look at the comments on 489239 – Option to fully disable app-provided tray icons for context on why that isn’t currently offered - basically, Plasma doesn’t know if the tray icon is the only way to interact with or activate an app, to where removing the tray icon breaks the app.
That bug is still a confirmed wishlist item, so it just needs someone with the time and ability to implement
Thanks for the info! Sadly I had already filled a bug report 
I see that you found it and linked both of them together, at least I hope I could shine a new perspective on the problem. Thanks for your time john

No worries! There are definitely some opportunities to make it easier to find existing bug reports within Bugzilla - I was literally about to click on confirming the report you filed when I thought of a different way to search existing reports, and happened across the one that already had some dialogue there.
Happy to at least help connect some existing work together
