Readme for keyboard-leds-trayicons
This tool, written in POSIX shell, places two icons in the notification area (aka system tray), that substitute for the keyboard LEDs for Capslock and Numlock.
How to configure
You can set environment variable KLT_CONF to point to a config file, which gets loaded in a style similar to dot-sourcing a shell script. Existing environment variables will be preserved. Keyboard-leds-trayicons will already load the global values from /etc/keyboard-leds-trayicons.conf and from your user settings in $HOME/.config/keyboard-leds-trayicons.conf.
Here is example config file.
KLT_CAPS_ON_ICON=capslock-on
KLT_CAPS_OFF_ICON=capslock-off
KLT_NUM_ON_ICON=numlock-on
KLT_NUM_OFF_ICON=numlock-off
As a side effect of using mktrayicon, you can use an icon name that follows the xdg spec or you can point to a specific filename. This project includes some simple letter icons in svg format.
