[Feature] Add the function of hiding the notification bar icon #78

Closed KrxkGit closed 2 months ago

Because the normal operation of the browser extension needs to ensure the operation of the main program, this will make the main program more perceptive on the user side.

I think we can increase the function of hiding the notification bar icon to reduce the user's perception of downloading the main program.

@KrxkGit Hi there. I don't understand what do you mean of hiding notification bar. can you please explain more? because I don't have any notification bar in the browser extension side or app itself (yet).

As a download tool, users may not want to see the icon of the download tool in the desktop taskbar for an extended period. Currently, the application mode requires the main download program to continuously listen on a specified port, which increases users' awareness of the download tool. I believe users might prefer to have the download tool start only when they are actually downloading, so it may be worth considering hiding the program icon in the desktop taskbar (as shown in the image below).

@KrxkGit I add this here because of two things.

BTW I will create an option to auto close the app after download (or download queue) completes. alongside system shutdown option that mentioned in #58
