Tray Icon Not Appearing in Wayland #33

Closed dotaxis closed 3 months ago

dotaxis commented 6 months ago

Hi, I run Arch with Hyprland and this is a minor annoyance but when I launch RuneLite via Bolt I tend to exit Bolt right after with my keyboard shortcut.

Unfortunately, there is no tray icon or "exit" button in Bolt, and the process stays running unless I kill it with pkill -9 bolt.

I'm not sure if there's supposed to be a tray icon that is not appearing in Hyprland, and that's the reason it stays running in the background, but it is a minor annoyance of mine. I don't like to keep the Bolt window open once I've launched RuneLite.

Would be great to have an "exit" button in Bolt that clean exits and/or fix the minimize to tray functionality (if that is indeed supposed to be a feature).

There is indeed supposed to be a tray icon. It's created using the deprecated tray functions in gtk3 since that's what Chromium/CEF has, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't work on a Wayland system.

You're not the first to complain about the tray icon. I'm planning to remove it in the next version.

The reason Bolt doesn't just exit when the window is closed, is because the experimental plugin library for RS3 (seen in src/library/ and on plugin-integration branch) needs the host process to stay alive while the game is running. Originally I made it minimise-to-tray so that the process won't stop when the window is closed. In retrospect, this was a mistake.

I appreciate the quick response.

For what it's worth, I don't have anything against using a tray icon if you can get it working on Wayland, but it's up to you if you would rather remove it and find some other solution for the RS3 stuff.

I will rename this issue now that I know the actual cause :)

As an additional note, I am using Manjaro/Gnome with X11 instead of Wayland and am seeing the same issue. I click the "X" button to close Bolt and the process doesn't exit until I kill the process on the terminal. Gnome hasn't supported tray icons for a while apparently, so Bolt just disappears into the aether instead of closing.

I'm just glad to finally know why this is happening! You're doing great with Bolt btw! I use it on my desktop and Steamdeck, as do my other Linux and Steamdeck friends, to get RuneLite anywhere easily.

Fixed in 0.9, there's no longer a tray icon and the process exits itself when appropriate.
