Python QT6 migration begins.

I have started to migrate projects to PyQT6. In practice, this means that both PyQT6 and PyQT5 are supported by the same code. It all depends on what the user has installed. Projects also receive updates and UI changes during transitions.

List of already migrated projects:

Lab Panel – Modular native StatusNotifier panel

New version of Lab Panel has been released.

Notable highlights include:

  • a Python-native org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher
  • tray icons and DBusMenu drop-downs
  • a simple labwc/wlroots tasklist using wlrctl
  • GTK4 Layer Shell anchoring
  • optional user-level systemd support
  • Theme support
Lab panel alternative blue style.
