Tray icon issues #83

Closed vertigo220 closed 2 years ago

vertigo220 commented 3 years ago

1) Icon is difficult to see when using dark Windows theme. 2) Launching app from icon causes icon to briefly disappear and reappear, and even though it appears to happen after the second click, it acts like it's happening after the first click, because every time I double-click on it, MS PowerToys, which is the tray icon to the right of this one, gets opened.

  1. Have you tried using the dark theme? (Found under advanced settings, set darkTheme to true)
  2. Strange, I have not come across this behaviour myself. I'll look into it.

  1. I don't see a darkTheme, only darkMode. And not only does that not change the tray icon, but it makes the UI unreadable:

  1. I figured out that CLI opens on mouse-down of the second click, and when it opens the icon disappears for a split-second, which is just long enough for the icons to shift, resulting in (in my case) the PowerToys icon to be where the cursor is, and that just happens to be a single-click to launch icon and is apparently triggered by the mouse-up of the click. Very strange, and not likely to be a common issue, but an issue nonetheless. Hope that helps.

  1. Sorry, my bad. The option is indeed named darkMode. And I'll look into the unreadable UI. I noticed that on my side as well.
  2. Okay, now I can reproduce the bug. I'll look into this later today

Does this issue still occur in the latest version?

vertigo220 commented 2 years ago

The first issue, that the icon is difficult to see, still exists. The second issue still partially exists, but is at least no longer a problem. The icon still disappears and reappears quickly while being double-clicked, and when this happens all the other icons shift over briefly then back, so it looks weird, but at least it doesn't cause the neighboring icon to be clicked anymore.

I recently bought an ASUS TUF.

I get the notification when num lock goes on or off. But shouldn't the icon also switch? I just see an "N" whenther num lock is on or off. I would also like the icon to be in the task bar itself and not among the "extra" icons accessible by the up arrow.

I checked the "show icons for num lock" box.

I don't use Windows so much and am new to this so I may have misunderstood. Thank you for keeping up open software.
