Is there a way to install an ubuntu app indicator applet on KDE?

I'd love to get bulletin working on Arch KDE https://github.com/SergKolo/indicator-bulletin
Infinite clipboard history, search, and saved/pinned items. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/03/ind … rd-manager

There is zero description of what that software does on it's github page you refer to but note there are a stack of good clipboard managers available for Arch.

Though I am not a programmer, glancing through the code suggests that application is made for Gnome, so I doubt there is any easy way to get it working in KDE.

KDE supports SNI/indicators natively. Have you tried it?

Thank you for the link. I will go through them one by one to see if any have the features I'm looking for (mainly infinite clipboard history, search, and saved/pinned items)

I didn't as I wasn't sure how to compile it.

I looked through the files and the `install` file simply has these two lines:

indicator-bulletin usr/bin/
indicator-bulletin.desktop usr/share/applications/

So I copied 'indictor-bulletin' and 'indicator-bulletin.desktop' to those two directories and it works!

I'll get my hands dirty and try to make a PKGBUILD and submit it to the AUR

Done: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/indi … letin-git/

Seems to work fine. This is my first aur submission, please let me know if all looks good.
