An implementation of the freedesktop StatusNotifierItem specification (the successor of appindicators and systray) for polybar.

This allows you to use many existing status indicators, e.g. for NetworkManager or Steam. Menus are supported via rofi.

Dependencies

• python3-gi
• rofi (or a similar dmenu-like tool)

Configuration

• In host.py, adapt render() to use your icons and colors
• In menu.py, adapt DMENU_CMD to your preferred dmenu-like tool

Apart from that, feel free to change whatever you like. This repo is meant as an example, not a turn-key solution.

Module

type = custom/script
exec = python3 ~/polybar-status-indicators/host.py 2> /dev/null
