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.

I didn’t hear about it, but the usual thing is that people get annoyed if you add unsolicited useless icons in the taskbar, especially if you do it with motivations related to politics or ideology.
If anyone is naive enough to think this is going to support us in any way, I encourage you to just do something like change the wallpaper, and never run random executables, ever. Or, you know, you can also do something that has SOME impact.
People in the Linux community were just having a laugh at Windows users who were unable to remove an icon, then some people were saying how they actually wanted a pride icon on their panel, so I wrote a simple python script and shared it.
Over the past year multiple people have said they liked the little icon in my system tray, so I decided to polish up the project and share it again. I’m not expecting it to change the world, I just thought some people out there might enjoy it.
EDIT: it’s not a random executable, the source code is right there, you can compile it yourself if you like.

@absentbird@lemm.ee, AFAICT, they’re technically correct, because your repo doesn’t appear to have a license. You should go add one now.
nice :3
The OG rainbow pride flag was open source unlike the progress flag. Edit:This wound up just being a rumour.
You’re free to pick whichever one you prefer.
The progress flag is part of the creative commons, it isn’t exactly ‘closed source’: https://progress.gay/pages/terms-of-use
Ok but how is it related to the topic of this community? I’m reporting this one.
First community rule in the sidebar:
Posts must be relevant to the open source ideology
…and as OP just pointed out, it’s an open source project? That’s relevant IMO.
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.
Not sure I understand why train games are on topic because they’re open source but an open source desktop icon isn’t.
Check the comments and you’ll see an admin talking about it. The icon wasn’t even open-source when the post was created. But my original point was that the icon might have been an act of law abuse performed to justify talking about an unrelated topic in this community.
