Will there be support for a system tray

Aylur commented 1 year ago

Is this a statement, a question, an order perhaps?:D

A bit of a question

This is amazing, switched from waybar, I would love something for system tray!

I started implementing a system tray over at my fork. But there are currently still a lot of issues with it and I currently don't have much time to work on this. Maybe someone can use this as a starting point.

I'm also implementing a system tray - slow progress but have some basics in place (things registering and icons -mostly- showing). I'll have a look at yours @kotontrion and see if we can combine efforts (is yours based on the gnome-shell version? I'm taking a lot of ques from that now I know it exists).

My personal goal with the system tray is to implement it both as a service that provides access to dbus proxies with helper methods for getting icons and menus etc... This will enable absolute customization (which lets face it it the reason we all love things like Ags).

For those who just want to get a pretty bog-standard system tray up and running quickly I will also to build a basic widget that uses the service with simple css classes for styling that can just be added like ags.Widget.SystemTray({...}) or something. I'll probably talk to @Aylur a bit more about this to see what he thinks is the tidiest solution once I've made a bit more progress and pushed an initial commit to my fork.

The current state of my fork has registration/de-registration of items working, icons, tooltips, etc are working too. Interaction with the items works as well, except showing the menu, i'm currently looking into how dbusmenu works, which is needed for this.

I didn't know about this. Will have a look at this. Might be helpful.

This is exactly what i was doing.
