dropbox icon not showing on "task" bar, Tweaks not working

[Torrey Woodhouse]

I've installed and uninstalled several times and I cannot get the Dropbox icon to show in the"task" bar.

I can see Tweaks in System Settings, but when I click on it, the System Settings window just disappears.

that dropbox is not showing the icon in wingpanel( task bar as u named it).
it is because dropbox decided not to use gtk anymore.
this is on luna and on freya. it will not change because of dropbox decision.

if you just install it, it will still work open terminal en type: 'dropbox status'
you will see that is still works and synchronizes, that only the icon is not precent anymore.

tip: next time make 2 separated bug reports it is easier

Marking as duplicate, the second report about Tweaks not working should be in a separate bug report possibly here: https://launchpad.net/elementary-tweaks
