There should be a way of accessing AppIndicator icons in Activities Overview

[Wise Melon]

I absolutely love the Activities Overview, it gives me my peace of mind, however there is one thing I feel is really lacking in it, and that is the ability to access my AppIndicator icons which are important to me. So I think that there really should be some way of accessing them there, be it just showing the normal tray, or even hiding it normally but revealing it when Shift is pressed or something. Or whatever it is, it would just be nice if there were some way of accessing the AppIndicator icons in the AO. I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 and would really like to see this feature.

Maybe you could try https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1031/topicons/
which is also packaged in the repositories as gnome-shell-extension-top-icons-plus
