The +indicator takes menus from applications and places them into the panel. + +Its behavior and features are listed at +https://wiki.ayatana-indicators.org/AyatanaIndicatorApplication + +## License and Copyright + +See COPYING and AUTHORS file in this project. + +## Building and Testing + +For instructions on building and running built-in tests, see the INSTALL.md file. |
