Useful Panel Indicators Collection For Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr/Linux Mint 17.x

Panel indicators are very handy when it comes to access bold features of application or any standalone indicator which offers various functionality for the desktop to make user experience better. This time I tried to gather all available indicators for 14.04 LTS in one place, so you guys don't have to explore the internet for specific indicator and you can also tell me if I missed any indicator here(Just drop me a line via contact page, I will try to include in the post, if possible).
If you are using Ubuntu 12.04 then you have to checkout this indicators collection post for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise. You can install these indicators in other desktop like Gnome-Classic, Mate, Cinnamon, Xfce and others but I can't say that every indicator will show up in every desktop, so I tested these indicators under Unity desktop. I didn't check these indicators on Linux Mint, hopefully they shall work with Linux Mint 17 without any problem.
