-some media players, are meant to run long-term in the background even after you
-close their window.  These applications remain accessible by adding an icon to
-the GNOME Shell Legacy Tray.  However, the Legacy Tray was removed in GNOME
-3.26.  TopIcons Redux brings those icons back into the top panel so that it's
-easier to keep track of applications running in the background.")
