AppIndicator port of blueberry-tray.py

[oniGino]

For those like me running Wayland based DE, here is a patch of blueberry-tray.py to use libappindicator instead of xapp

If someone is willing to do some additional testing it might be worth getting merged.

I applied the patch and it works well. Thank you! No problems so far.

The nm-applet normally working with systray when loaded as nm-applet --indicator becomes usable with status.notifier. @oniGino Would you consider rewriting the code above to allow such feature and propose it as a pull request ?

I can confirm that the patch works for me on Sway. Thanks!
I have created an AUR package for Arch Linux for easier installation until this is merged: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/blueberry-wayland

Just a little contribution:

This expression derives the nixpkgs blueberry using this patch:

pkgs.blueberry.overrideAttrs (old: {
  patches = (old.patches or []) ++ [ ./blueberry-tray-fix.patch ];
  buildInputs = old.buildInputs ++ [ pkgs.libappindicator-gtk3 ];
})

It works but doesn't show any icon by default, this appears in the logs just after blueberry is started.

out 11 21:44:05 riverwood blueberry-tray-start[711802]:   self.icon.set_icon(self.tray_icon)

Everything else works fine. I am running Hyprland on NixOS.

Edit 1: Thank you for the patch <3
