For a minimized application icon of the messenger Wire we need to have a system tray extension installed. This will be provided with the ubuntu-unity-desktop, or if running default Ubuntu >= 18.04 with the package gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus.
sudo apt install gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus
If Wire was installed by DEB package or from the Debian repository a wire-desktop.desktop file can be put in the autostart directory to start every time we log into our session with the following content (copied from /usr/share/applications):
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Wire
Exec=/opt/Wire/wire-desktop %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=wire-desktop
StartupWMClass=Wire
Categories=Network;
GenericName=Wire
Keywords=chat;encrypt;e2e;messenger;videocall
If that worked as expected we can have it starting minimized to the tray with the parameter --startup in the Exec line of our .desktop file:
Exec=/opt/Wire/wire-desktop --startup %U
After login we will have Wire running minimized as icon in the system tray:
