Steam’s icon is no longer showing in the top panel for some reason, reinstalling steam doesn’t bring the icon back.

Install lib32-libappindicator-gtk2 and relaunch steam.

I’ve run into this to and use AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support - GNOME Shell Extensions straight from the extensions site as a manual installed plugin.

For some reason the built in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator is not enough with these packages below installed for my configuration.

Can’t reproduce.

That’s optional for steam-manjaro and required by steam-native.

Those are identical.

lib32-libappindicator-gtk2 is in the multilib repo, do you have it enabled in your /etc/pacman.conf?
