Change system tray icon when notifications are received.

Change the icon color of the system tray when new notifications are available to read, gray the icon out when all new notifications have been read.

Hi, you're app is promising, I once supported one that does exactly what you require here :

https://github.com/squalou/google-chat-linux

In my case, the "Ctrl K" to search for people crashes my app, so I'll probably switch to yours shortly.

If I ever find a few hours I'll maybe propose a PR.

[squalou]

I have a branch ready if you'll allow me to push to the project.. .. but looks like it somehow causes the "ctrl K" being broken again. but not sure why / how, still trying

[squalou]

forget it, my solution requires this :

        "webPreferences": {
            "nodeIntegration": true
        },

which breaks the Ctrl K feature

(by the way you have a typo : you set "node-integration": false

which has no effect, default value being false you don't see the difference :) )

[squalou]

Hi

I think I have a solution.

• start a maindow without nodeIntegration
• start a hiddenWindow WITH nodeIntegration,
• use the hiddenWindow to manage ipcMagic

You can see an example here : https://github.com/squalou/google-chat-linux

Hi @squalou thanks for posting! I will certainly take a look. Thank you!

[squalou]

Hi,

I may have 'fixed' (worked around ?) the issue.

I removed my 'hidden window' trick, and added this option when running electron:

export NODE_OPTIONS="--no-force-async-hooks-checks"

This prevents the crash when using Ctrl K

This way I can add back the ICM listening mechanism that reflects the favicon color in systray.

you can check my repository

Note taht I faced this issue https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/issues/4642

=> in my repo I provided a custom made .desktop file that sets env variables, I have no idea how to include / generate properly a desktop file with electron-builder.

Maybe other / better solutions exists to set env or to package things.

My Arch package works with an after-build tweak.

[squalou]

edit : forced env inside index.js, it works fine even with deb package.

[aenany]

@squalou , thank you for the comprehensive solution here considering the Exec issues.

I will take a look at your repo!

[aenany]

On another note @squalou I believe I have made you a Contributor to the project. I am still getting the hang of GitHub repo settings.

[squalou]

Indeed ! I just checked the email received weeeeks ago. Still I don't know how to accept (the accept link goes to a 404, and from github I can't find how to)

[aenany]

Strange, according to the repo settings you did accept the invite. Nevertheless, I've invited you again as a collaborator. It indicates "Pending Invite" on your username in the Collaborators table.
