📦 version 0.9.8, in nixos 26.05, nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to the polychroma...tray-applet(1) page, straight outta the General Commands Manual section, bestie 💅

Polychromatic — RGB lighting management software for GNU/Linux ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

polychroma-tray-applet [OPTIONS]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This is the tray applet interface, and its whole thing is giving convenient access to device options through an AppIndicator or GTK Status Icon 🫶

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows the help information. iconic, necessary, slay.
  • -v, --verbose — prints more details about the application's operation. yes, give us the lore 🔥
  • --version — prints version information, including:
    • Software version
    • Commit hash (when run from the repository directory)
    • Python version
    • GTK version
  • --locale [lang] — forces the application to display in a specific locale. For example, "fr_FR" or "nl" 🌈
  • --force-appindicator — overrides the user's preferences and starts the tray applet using the AppIndicator3 bindings.
  • --force-ayatana — overrides the user's preferences and starts the tray applet using the Ayatana Indicator bindings. This is the default option and is widely compatible with most desktop environments 👑
  • --force-gtk-status — overrides the user's preferences and starts the tray applet using the legacy GTK Status Icon. This is a deprecated GTK feature, but may work on distributions where application indicators are not supported. so like… deprecated but sometimes still doing its little thing 💀

🎀 NOTES 🎀

⚠️ Some desktop enviroments (such as GNOME) have deprecated support for indicators and system tray. In this scenario, the user may need to install an additional package provided by their distribution that restores the functionality, or sacrifice this feature 😭
⚠️ It is observed that on some desktop environments and fast computers, a race condition prevents the indicator/applet from displaying as expected (including the wrong theme, or large icons). In this scenario, set a delay in preferences.json by a few seconds 🕐

okay that’s the whole vibe check from polychroma...tray-applet(1), dated 2022-12-03 — byeee bestie 💖✨
