[Theme Proposal] Compact Fluent Quad: Compact Win11 layout & unified 2x2 tray icon #95

Description

@fix2it

Hi @CodeZeno,

First of all, thank you so much for this amazing project! It has quickly become an indispensable tool in my daily workflow for monitoring Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity/Gemini.

As I enabled all 4 providers, I noticed two things:

  1. The widget takes up quite a bit of horizontal taskbar real estate.
  2. Spawning 4 separate tray icons slightly clutters the Windows 11 system tray overflow area.

To make the experience feel even more native and streamlined alongside the Windows 11 clock, I created a refined theme preset: Compact Fluent Quad.

Key Improvements:

  • 📏 Compact Footprint:
    • Removed the left vertical divider and the extra label column.
    • Shortened Cursor labels (int / ext).
    • Saves substantial horizontal taskbar space while keeping all numbers and reset times fully legible.
  • 🎯 Pixel-Perfect Alignment:
    • Bar height (10px) and row coordinates (y: 10, y: 26) are calibrated to match the exact cap-height and baseline of Segoe UI 12 digits (e.g. 100%).
    • Harmonized consistent 6px spacing across blocks, rows, and the system tray chevron.
  • 🎨 Distinct Provider Palette:
    • Claude Code: Terracotta (#D97757)
    • Codex: Deep Blue (#3B82F6)
    • Gemini / Antigravity: Tech Cyan (#00D2B4)
    • Cursor: Crisp White (#FFFFFF)
  • 🔲 Unified 2×2 Quad Tray Icon:
    • Consolidates 4 separate tray icons into a single, minimalist 2×2 colored matrix icon.
    • Full multi-provider hover tooltips and click-to-toggle functionality are 100% preserved.

Would you be interested in including this as an official preset in src/themes/? If so, I’d be happy to open a clean Pull Request!
