# 🎤 `mic-icon`
It's [`volumeicon`](https://github.com/Maato/volumeicon) for microphones! But, it sucks and it's written in an inferior language and it only works on Linux 😅 (sorry, I'm honestly incompetent with other OSs).
In this modern internet dystopia, I often share my screen and disable notifications when presenting. This means that I don't get to see my "Microphone is [STATE]" notifications when sharing (I do tend to mute a fair bit for coughs). Imagine muting and forgetting to unmute as you continue to speak… OOOOH!!! THE MODERN SHAME that we snowflakes can't handle 😭.
With that spiel said, I just needed something that "aims to be a lightweight mic status indicator that sits in your systray" and here it is… TADA! just like `volumeicon`, it's `mic-icon`!
I really just wrote this for myself and sharing it on the internet 🤷♂️. Good luck!
## Dependencies
* any rational recent version of Python 3
* this thing is so simple, so I'll be surprised if we're facing any version incompatibilities already.
* `pulsectl`
* `pygobject`
* `pactl` command (part of the `pulseAudio` or `pipewire-pulse` packages)
* GTK 3.0 (via your system package manager)
* AppIndicator3 (via your system package manager)
## Installation
virtualenv is the way!
```sh
python -m venv .venv
```
then activate the `venv`…
```sh
source .venv/bin/activate
```
(if you're a fish user, it would be `source .venv/bin/activate.fish` 😉)
then…
```sh
pip install .
```
then…
```sh
mic-icon
```
and now you have it! symlink that `./.venv/bin/mic-icon` SUMBITCH somewhere in your `PATH=` and run it on start-up — or however, the heck you want.
