Tray icon changes accodring to status #10

The user can the change status via tray control so it would be nice if the tray icon reflects status- a tiny green/yellow/red dot in the key-hole, similar to qTox for example.

An option to auto-set status to "Away" after a user-defined period of inactivity will also be nice,

  1. I don't like qTox tray icon but it isn't too difficult to add this feature. But I think it should be done easily using plugins
  2. There are 2 ways to do it. IIRC qTox sets status "Away" when you are out from app for some time. That's easy solution but not correct. So it ends with https://github.com/tux3/qTox/issues/3327 etc. The second way is to handle keyboard and mouse events. That's impossible for qt and really bad idea for cross-platform app but not for platform-specific plugin.

I implemented auto away status for Windows as plugin (link). I hope once Toxygen will get its own unique icon, so tray icon with status should be done via plugins only. If you want you can ask for it in main plugins repo. I'm closing this as not client issue.
