Remove Thinkpad Assistant from Top menubar #37

Thanks for developing this! Just have a feature request - could you possibly allow the icon to be dragged off of the top menubar and hidden? I try to keep it pretty minimal. If a user wanted to bring back the menu icon, they could try launching the app again, if that's possible to catch if already open.

@1Revenger1 You can use https://github.com/dwarvesf/hidden for that

could you possibly allow the icon to be dragged off of the top menubar and hidden?

Doesn't only Apple's own icons do that ( Siri, etc. )? I did not found any mention about possibility of allowing icon to be moved out in the documentation. I think this should be done using menu item.

If a user wanted to bring back the menu icon, they could try launching the app again, if that's possible to catch if already open.

Triggering some action when clicking on an app that is opened is not documented and I doubt it's possible. It could be implemented by using some shortcut.

Hide

A menu item works yeah, as well as a shortcut. I just thought that reopening it might be more user friendly than using a key combo, though from what you said it doesn't sound like apple supports doing it that way.

Edit: Thanks for the recommendation of hidden! That works well though I think some way to hide the icon within the app would be nice still.

Any body used this app: Tiles, It somehow incorporated the menubar icon hide capability. I don't know how they did it as it is a closed source app. My saying is, it is somehow possible in macOS.
