Enhance System Tray with Rich Status Display and Notifications

[krjordan]

Summary

Enhance the basic system tray implementation with rich status display, real-time updates, and system notifications for print events.

Dependencies

• Requires completion of basic system tray support (issue Add Basic System Tray/Menu Bar Support #90)

User Story

As a user monitoring multiple 3D printers, I want to see detailed printer status in my menu bar and receive notifications for important print events so that I can stay informed without constantly checking the dashboard.

Phase 2 Requirements

Rich Status Display

• Dynamic Status Text: Show real-time summary like "📊 2 idle, 3 printing, 1 error"
• Dynamic Tray Icon: Change icon color/style based on overall printer status
  • Green: All printers healthy
  • Yellow: Some printers idle
  • Red: Errors detected
• Individual Printer Menu Items:

  📊 3 Printing, 2 Idle, 0 Errors
  ──────────────────────
  🖨️ Printer A - Printing (45%)
  🖨️ Printer B - Printing (78%)  
  🖨️ Printer C - Idle
  ──────────────────────
  🔧 Open Dashboard
  ⚙️ Settings
  ❌ Quit
  

System Notifications

• Print Completion: Notify when prints finish successfully
• Print Errors: Alert when printers encounter errors
• Print Started: Optional notification when new prints begin
• Connection Issues: Alert when printers go offline
• Notification Settings: User control over which events trigger notifications

Real-time Updates

• Live Status Updates: Tray text updates as printer status changes
• Menu Refresh: Individual printer items update with current progress
• Efficient Updates: Minimize system resource usage

Technical Implementation

• Extend existing MQTT service integration for real-time tray updates
• Use Tauri's notification APIs for system notifications
• Implement dynamic icon system with multiple icon states
• Add user preferences for notification settings

Acceptance Criteria

• Tray displays accurate real-time printer summary
• Icon color reflects overall printer health
• Individual printer progress shown in menu
• System notifications work for all specified events
• Users can configure notification preferences
• Performance remains smooth with multiple printers
• Works reliably on Windows and macOS

Design Considerations

• Keep menu readable with 5+ printers
• Ensure notifications are helpful, not annoying
• Provide clear visual hierarchy in menu items
• Consider printer name truncation for long names

Priority

Low-Medium - Valuable enhancement but not critical for core functionality
