…icon
On non-Flatpak installations (e.g. AUR), the system icon theme may not
contain an icon named 'com.core447.StreamController', causing the tray
icon to be missing on KDE Plasma.
The StatusNotifierItem spec's IconThemePath property allows apps to
advertise a custom icon search path. The repo already ships the icon as
Assets/icons/hicolor/{48x48,512x512}/apps/com.core447.StreamController.png,
structured as a valid freedesktop icon theme root.
Passing MAIN_PATH/Assets/icons as IconThemePath ensures KDE always finds
the bundled icon regardless of installation method.
Fixes StreamController#538

Summary
Fixes #538 — the system tray icon is missing on KDE Plasma for non-Flatpak installations (AUR, etc.).
Root cause:
src/tray.pysets the StatusNotifierItemIconNametocom.core447.StreamController, but on non-Flatpak systems the icon is installed asstreamcontroller.png(notcom.core447.StreamController.png), so KDE cannot find it in the system icon theme.Fix: The StatusNotifierItem spec provides
IconThemePathexactly for this case — an additional path the desktop environment should search for icons. The repository already ships the icon correctly named at:Assets/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/com.core447.StreamController.pngAssets/icons/hicolor/512x512/apps/com.core447.StreamController.pngAssets/icons/is already a valid freedesktop icon theme root. We now pass its absolute path asIconThemePath, so KDE always finds the bundled icon regardless of installation method.Change:
src/tray.py— one additional line to resolve the icon theme path, and pass it to the existingset_icon()call which already accepts apathparameter.Test plan
