slack-status

PyGTK application for easy Slack status switching via your notification area.

Designed for and tested on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Unity. Probably works with other GTK 3 desktop environments, but I really have no idea.

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • slackclient from PyPi
  • python3-gi from Ubuntu (apt-get install python3-gi)

Usage

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Create a new Slack app
    • Add the emoji:read and users.profile:write scopes
    • Jot down the OAuth token for the next step
  3. Copy config.json.example to config.json and edit the following:
    • Change slack_token to contain your OAuth token
    • Add/edit/remove the statuses to suit your needs. The text and emoji keys must be present; text can be an empty string.
  4. Run app.py!

Limitations

  • This only supports a single Slack workspace
  • Status changes made in Slack will not update here
  • Slack's default emojis can be used in your config.json but won't appear in the menu
  • Animated GIFs won't appear in the menu - this is likely a limitation of GTK
