[Feature Request] [Windows] Add icon to system tray #5

Closed shanempope closed 4 years ago

I'm trying to add a feature to this and the one nice thing to have would be an icon in the system tray when the app is running. Right now I'm killing the app in Task Manager over and over.

I'm quite opposed to polluting the system tray... In this specific case, there's no useful indication from the app, no user controls. I agree it's not really developer-friendly atm, but a tray icon is not an answer here.

I'm also interested in this feature (primarily as a dev loop improvement), and wouldn't mind looking into how to implement it as a PR.

Before doing that though, would you be interested in merging such a PR, with the condition that the icon would be optional based on some configuration setting? i.e: something like tray_icon = true (where the default is off)
