# runcat-tray

Is a runcat port for Linux using libappindicator.

(Another useless cat here..)

## requirements

- libappindicator-gtk3

## build

> mkdir build && cd build

>

> cmake .. && make

>

> make install

It will install all default icons to your `~/.config/runcat/icons`, optionally, you can move/copy the runcat binary to your $PATH.

## start

> runcat

There're several flags to use:

- `-l` to set the lower bound of FPS, default to 6

- `-u` to set the upper bound of FPS, default to 90

- `-d` to set the default icon set, default to $HOME/.config/runcat/icons/cat 

## resources

The default resources are from internet.

-  from [win0err/gnome-runcat](https://github.com/win0err/gnome-runcat)

-  from [unreturnable](https://tenor.com/view/swan_hack-dab-tux-linux-gif-19010779)

-  from github home page

-  from [cultofthepartyparrot.com](https://cultofthepartyparrot.com/)

You can use your custom pictures.

1. extract all frames(png/svg are good) from a gif, usually using `imagemagick`'s `convert` command, like

> convert -coalesce ./input.gif out%02d.png

2. copy those frames in a directory.

3. use the `-d` flag to specify the icons' ABS path(like `/home/username/.config/runcat/icons/xxx`).

PS: It currently support no more than 30 frames in a directory.
