It seems that Java isn't adjusting the font size of the pop-up message for your display resolution settings. I am using a 1440 x 900 laptop screen with no scaling.

What is the issue with Wayland? The tray icon is working with Wayland on recent versions of Fedora and Ubuntu with GNOME Shell and the AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support extension enabled.

I also serve music to a Raspberry Pi 4 running the most recent version of Raspberry Pi OS. (My Linux Mint box and my Pi box are both client side. My installation of MinimServer is on a Synology NAS.) Your Raspberry Pi instructions say:

Quote:[NEW] Important: If you are running Raspberry Pi OS version 12 (bookworm), this uses Wayland as its display protocol by default instead of X11. MinimWatch requires X11 to show its tray icon. To configure Raspberry Pi OS to use X11 instead of Wayland, see the section Configuring Raspberry Pi OS to use X11 instead of Wayland.

That's where I picked up the Wayland issue. I held off installing MinimWatch on my Pi client because of that. It's good to hear that you've already got MinimWatch running on some Wayland computers. I figure Linux Mint is bound for Wayland sooner rather than later.

Thanks again for your kind attention.
