    Good on the developer. The users complaining are really a bunch of spoiled children. Someone provides you with a free product, a donation button is introduced and you start whining incessantly.

      I’m not a user of this software, but reading the ticket I know I’d be annoyed too. I was when Windows 11 changed task bar behavior to worse.

      • It dumped and animated icon in my panel in the primary position where my most used launcher normally is
      • There was no clear way to remove this intrusion into my workflow - the context menu item of “Donation options” was not something that appeared to give me that option

      From that, seems like it was a disruptive donation button rather than an informational side thing.

      They opened the ticket with thanks and appreciation, and made respectful factual arguments. Far from “whining incessantly”.

    Good luck GNOME users! If Xfce ever added a donation button I would not be donating again.
