GUI and Tray Improvements

[lah7]

Preferences Reset Required

The preferences.json has been restructured to now support groups. As a result, any previous preferences will need to be reset! (Thank goodness there were only 3 options!) While the application will write these new values if non-existent, it's a good idea to click "Reset Preferences" in the options so you have a clean file.

Tray Applet

• Add profiles menu.
• Add option to open configuration tool.
• Ability to use the static logo, animated logo or system (DBus) icon.
• Supports custom icons (by specifying a path to an image)

  Chroma GUI / Preferences

• Can set "start-up" options, effective if the Tray Applet automatically starts when you log on.
• Can set your preferred colours, retained across sessions.
• Can set the start effect, brightness, a profile and whether the macro key functionality should be enabled.
• Current primary/secondary colours are retained across pages.

  Code Changes

• Migrated 'Preferences' and 'Profiles' to their own modules.
• Minor fixes to some code areas.
• Fix for PyGIWarnings.
• Preferences keeps a note of its version, to warn if large changes happen in future.

Would it be worth checking for legacy preferences.json and bringing up warning?

[lah7]

The preferences module will print a notice in the terminal about using a "newer format , but the only thing these changes will do for existing users is "deactivate" them. The apps/module automatically writes a fallback value if none exist.

Ok cool, I take it you tested this thoroughly, with the latest daemon etc...?

[lah7]

I always test changes before committing, testing as I go along. There's no reason for daemon problems as these are purely UI / preferences.json changes.
