Possible to add to System Tray?

[trgeiger]

Is there any possibility that this could live inside the KDE System Tray, much like how the Redshift widget can be enabled there?

This was my original intention. The "problem" with the tray is that the widget cannot expand to its own size, but the tray imposes some kind of fixed size for it: Try for example clicking on several plasma widgets on your system tray and you will see that all of these have the same fixed size.

So I guess I should either introduce a scrollview, which looks really ugly or somehow redesign the whole user interface to fit in that size :\

Ah yeah I totally forgot about that limitation. I mean, it would be a great option eventually, but I know redesigning the interface for a small space like that would be a lot of work.

A few of the standard parts of the System Tray have scrollable parts, so maybe if some of the interface was smaller it wouldn't be so bad to scroll? Not sure.

Also, separately, I just thought it might be nice if the icon used for the widget could be changed manually by the user?

Yeah! Maybe a less fancy interface, eg dropdown boxes instead of big fancy buttons with icons. I'll give it a try... :)

Sure!

Could you please test the latest code? You should be able to change the icon.
