RescueTime status icons #422

Closed bmcclure closed 6 years ago

bmcclure commented 7 years ago

I've added support for RescueTime's status icon. It's a Qt app, and it only has one icon state.

There is no .desktop file for RescueTime so I didn't bother creating a large application icon yet.

Just to confirm, this is working for me on Loki with the official RescueTime application installed.

And please note I am not an icon designer. I opened the RescueTime icon in Krita and made some adjustments to make it match my other elementary status icons as best as I could. It's monochromatic, it's smaller so the size fits in better, and that's about all my design skills are good for.

I shaved a little bit off the + symbol on two of the four sides so that the hour/minute hands could be one pixel wide and still be centered, as two px seemed like too much.

I was wrong about there only being one icon state. When offline, there is a different icon with a red exclamation point on it. This icon wasn't in my /tmp directory previously, but now that it's shown up perhaps I can add it to the PR. Stand by!

Rather than clutter up the clean icon with a red exclamation point (I couldn't get it to look very good), I simply turned the whole thing the exact same red color as the "muted" volume indicator to indicate an issue. Open to other ideas as well, but this is working fine for me as is now with both icon states that I'm aware of.

I had a change of heart about the "exclamation" icon state. Since it seems to indicate that the service can't be connected to (or in other words, you're offline), I made it work like the Network offline indicator, and the icon gets dim and has a white "x" in the lower right corner.

This looks far better to me than the red icon I had previously and doesn't draw your attention any more than it should.
