in your terminal.

The final step is to run `debuild -i -us -uc -b` in the root of the `indicator-application` folder. Once this has finished, there should be a .deb for you to install in the parent directory.

### Another way to return the indicators

Open the terminal, copy, paste and run each command line below, one by one:

```sh
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/autostart
$ cp /etc/xdg/autostart/indicator-application.desktop ~/.config/autostart/
$ sed -i 's/^OnlyShowIn.*/OnlyShowIn=Unity;GNOME;Pantheon;/' ~/.config/autostart/indicator-application.desktop
$ wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementary-os/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wingpanel-indicator-ayatana/wingpanel-indicator-ayatana_2.0.3+r27+pkg17~ubuntu0.4.1.1_amd64.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i wingpanel-indicator-ayatana_2.0.3+r27+pkg17~ubuntu0.4.1.1_amd64.deb
```

After that, just log off and login, and your favorite indicators will be there.

### Resolving the large space between icons
One solution is to create a file in `~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css` by adding the content below:

```sh
.composited-indicator {
padding: 0 2px;
}
```

It is a very simple solution that does not require re-editing the `app.css` associated with the theme (as root).
