feat: add system tray (StatusNotifierWatcher / SNI)
Implements org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher as a D-Bus service so apps
like Nextcloud can register their tray icons. Icons are rendered from
SNI ARGB pixmaps (falling back to icon-name theme lookup), click calls
Activate(0,0), and NameOwnerChanged cleans up ghost icons when an app
exits. Styling follows the Bread Design System (4px tertiary radius,
xs/sm spacing, opacity transitions).

Also fixes a latent infinite-loop risk in osd.rs (.flatten → .map_while)
and syncs the notifications server version string to CARGO_PKG_VERSION.

# breadbar
Minimal status bar and notification daemon for [Hyprland](https://hyprland.org/) on Wayland.
A single Rust binary that provides a full-width top bar, a system tray, and a standards-compliant D-Bus notification daemon. No launcher, no wallpaper logic.
## Features
**Status bar** (anchored to the top of every monitor via `gtk4-layer-shell`):
- Left: live workspace buttons sourced from Hyprland IPC, active workspace highlighted
- Centre: clock (`HH:MM`, updates at the top of each minute)
- Right: CPU%, RAM, power draw (W), battery level + AC indicator, Bluetooth state, WiFi SSID with signal strength, system tray (SNI)
**Notification daemon**:
- Implements `org.freedesktop.Notifications` (D-Bus) — works with any standard notification sender (`notify-send`, etc.)
- Popups appear top-right, stack vertically, auto-dismiss after the sender-specified timeout (default 5 s)
- Supports `CloseNotification`
**Theming**:
- Reads `~/.cache/wal/colors.json` (pywal) on startup for a palette that matches your wallpaper
- Falls back to a Catppuccin Mocha palette if pywal is not present
- User CSS override: `~/.config/breadbar/style.css`
- Send `SIGHUP` to reload the theme at runtime (integrates with wallpaper-change hooks)
## Dependencies
Runtime:
- GTK4 (≥ 4.12)
- `gtk4-layer-shell`
- `iw` — for WiFi SSID/signal (`iw dev <iface> link`)
- A running Hyprland compositor
- D-Bus session bus
Bluetooth status is read from `/sys/class/rfkill` and BlueZ D-Bus; it degrades gracefully if unavailable.
## Building
```sh
cargo build --release
```
The binary is at `target/release/breadbar`.
Requirements: Rust 1.77+ (uses `LazyLock`), a GTK4 development environment (`libgtk-4-dev` / `gtk4` package).
On Arch Linux:
```sh
sudo pacman -S gtk4 gtk4-layer-shell iw
cargo build --release
```
## Running
```sh
./target/release/breadbar
```
Typically launched from your Hyprland config:
```
exec-once = /path/to/breadbar
```
breadbar claims `org.freedesktop.Notifications` on the session D-Bus on startup. If another notification daemon is already running, startup will fail — stop the other daemon first.
## Theming
### pywal integration
breadbar reads `~/.cache/wal/colors.json` automatically. To reload after a wallpaper change:
```sh
pkill -HUP breadbar
```
Or hook it into your wallpaper script:
```sh
wal -i /path/to/wallpaper.jpg
pkill -HUP breadbar
```
### Custom CSS
Drop a `~/.config/breadbar/style.css` file and send `SIGHUP` to reload. This CSS is applied at a higher priority than the pywal palette so you can override anything.
Example — change the font size:
```css
* {
font-size: 13px;
}
```
## Architecture
| Module | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| `src/main.rs` | GTK4 app entry point, widget tree, `relm4` component |
| `src/bar/workspaces.rs` | Hyprland IPC event stream, workspace buttons |
| `src/bar/clock.rs` | Minute-tick clock |
| `src/bar/stats.rs` | Polling loop: CPU, RAM, power, battery, Bluetooth, WiFi |
| `src/bar/tray.rs` | `org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher` D-Bus service, SNI item rendering |
| `src/notifications/mod.rs` | `org.freedesktop.Notifications` zbus service |
| `src/notifications/popup.rs` | Layer-shell popup window and card stack |
| `src/theme.rs` | pywal reader, GTK CSS provider injection |
Stats are polled every 2 seconds. Bluetooth and WiFi are sampled every 16 seconds and cached in between to avoid hammering D-Bus and `iw`.
