It is supported by \nall destop environment that implements the [StatusNotifierHost \nspecification][status-notifier-host] from [freedesktop.org][freedesktop] \n([KDE][kde], [XFCE][xfce], ...).\n\nIt uses a YAML file which describes the icon to put in the system tray along a \ncontext menu and callbacks to be executed in a shell.\n\nThe menu can contain labels, separators, submenus, checkboxes and radiobuttons. \nScroll events can be triggered on the main icon.\n\nAmong other things, I use it to change my VPN settings. The icon shows its \ncurrent status:\n\n![demo](./demo.gif)\n\nWhat you can do with it:\n\n- a custom launcher menu\n- a volume icon\n- a menu to turn on or off your VPN\n- a menu to toggle dual monitor setups\n- anything that requires a status icon and scriptable actions\n\nSee [the example file](./tests/data/example.yaml) to get started.\n\nRun it with:\n\n```bash\n$ systranything -f ./tests/data/example.yaml\n```\n\nIt has a verbose mode which can be turned on with `-v`. It writes on `stdout` \nthe commands executed along their outputs.\n\n# Hacking\n\nThe project can be built with [nix][nix].\n\nInstall with:\n\n```bash\n$ nix profile install\n```\n\nBuild with:\n\n```bash\n$ nix build\n```\n\nThe binary is then created in `./result/bin/systranything`\n\nHack with:\n\n```bash\n$ nix develop\n```\n\nYou will be dropped in a shell with all the needed tools in scope: `cabal` to \nbuild the project and `haskell-language-server` for a better developer \nexperience.\n\n[freedesktop]: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/\n[hackage-png]: https://img.shields.io/hackage/v/systranything\n[hackage]: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/systranything\n[kde]: https://kde.org/\n[nix]: https://nixos.org/\n[polybar]: https://polybar.github.io/\n[status-haskell-ci-png]: https://github.com/jecaro/systranything/workflows/Haskell-CI/badge.svg\n[status-haskell-ci]: https://github.com/jecaro/systranything/actions/workflows/haskell-ci.yml\n[status-nix-png]: https://github.com/jecaro/systranything/workflows/nix/badge.svg\n[status-nix]: https://github.com/jecaro/systranything/actions/workflows/nix.yml\n[status-notifier-host]: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/StatusNotifierItem/StatusNotifierHost/\n[xfce]: https://www.xfce.org/\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjecaro%2Fsystranything","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjecaro%2Fsystranything","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjecaro%2Fsystranything/lists"}
