+Usage
+=====
+After installation, you have to start the application `at least once`__.
+Then it will be running as a background service that shows the headset
+status icon whenever the headphones are plugged in.

+===================
+Why was it written?
+===================
+I wrote the headphone indicator app because I was immensely unsatisfied

+
+My task was to show that you can make it much, much better.
