Bug Description

Having it installed means that even when a app is added to the systray whitelist it still uses the indicator instead
In vlc practically nothing works right, smplayer is better but area's of the indicator don't function

In both cases the systray icon works perfectly
It would be better to make sni-qt a recommend of any app where it does work, if any
The other possibility would be to add a blacklist to sni-qt if that was possible
