GNOME does not currently support system tray icons. However, Ubuntu has created an [https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/615/appindicator-support/ extension] that implements this in the top bar. You can install this extension with the following in NixOS:

{{File|3={

environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.gnomeExtensions.appindicator ];

~~services.udev.packages = [ pkgs.gnome-settings-daemon~~ ];

}|name=/etc/nixos/configuration.nix|lang=nix}}You can also install the extension outside of Nix and it will function the same.
