No way to hide menu bar icon #486

Open YodaLightsabr opened 1 year ago

YodaLightsabr commented 1 year ago

There is currently no way to hide the Docker menu bar icon, as noted in docker/for-mac#2272 before it was closed for inactivity. This is an annoyance for many users, and it violates Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.

Expected behavior

Docker allows users to hide the menu bar icon.

Actual behavior

Docker prevents users from hiding the menu bar icon.

Information

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Open Docker

Hi there!

This seems like a feature request rather than a bug, Would you mind opening this issue in https://github.com/docker/roadmap? Thanks!

I can see how this could also be considered a feature request, but I think blatantly violating Apple's Human Interface Guidelines in away that annoys a large share of users is a bug that should not be overlooked.

Yup! From Human interface guideline's menu bar section (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/the-menu-bar):

Let people — not your app — decide whether to put your menu bar extra in the menu bar. Typically, people add a menu bar extra to the menu bar by changing a setting in an app’s settings window. To ensure discoverability, however, consider giving people the option of doing so during setup.

I want to hide it too.

Here is inspiration from the Postgres app for you. It is by default on, but a user can turn it off. That's the UX I was looking for.

Seems to be a duplicate of #281.

I'm also hoping to see this implemented, as the space in menu bar is priceless, and Docker Engine can nowadays be controlled via the status bar within the app, so there seem to be no unique functionality to the menu bar icon anyway.

I vote for this bug/feature to be solved
