Python AppIndicator to make tomate Unity compliant

I just discovered tomate : https://gitorious.org/tomate a very simple program that help get things done when you work on a computer.

But tomate use gtk.status_icon instead of appindicator so I would like to fix this.

However, I would like to keep the same behaviour with appindicator. It is very easy to use like this 开发者_运维技巧and I don't whan to create a menu and complicate its use.

The simple behaviour is that when you click on the icon you start the time counter and when you click again you stop it.

So you don't need a menu.

Is it possible to use appindicator without a menu or with a basic menu that just receive the click and don't have any items?

Thank for you help.

Actually the menu is what makes appindicator so different.

So basically, I just created a menu and change the way I update the menu and the icon.
