Integration with macOS dock and menubar #32

Closed arteme closed 9 months ago

arteme commented 1 year ago

Currently, pod-ui doesn't integrate well with the the dock or the menu-bar in macOS. The app could be better integrated to

respect dock "Quit" action;
add proper items to the menu-bar for "quit", "about" and "settings dilaog" actions;
etc...

There is gtk-mac-integration that can be used to implement this:

https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GTK%2B/OSX/

Need to add rust bindings for that first.

Version 1.4.0 wraps the app code into a proper GtkApplication, which integrates macOS native controls (even though dock "quit" support leaves a lot to be desired)
