By this, do you mean the Ice icon in the menu bar?

llity commented 1 month ago

I am referring to the capability of dynamically showing the menu bar item for each software application. When I activate or use the software, its menu bar item should automatically appear; when I'm not using it, it should automatically hide.

Oh I see. Yes, this should be possible once triggers are implemented.

Thanks.

Perhaps we could establish customized groups here, activated by shortcuts, to showcase the collection of menu bar items.

I'm going to close this, as there are multiple other feature requests that cover what has been discussed here. Showing icons with trigger conditions is covered by #62, and combining items into groups is covered by #46. Showing with hotkeys is on the roadmap, but I'll open an issue for it so that it's officially tracked.
