[MacOS] Add an option to remove the app icon from the menu bar #10642

It would be great to provide an option in the settings for MacOS users to hide the LT icon in the menu bar to prevent the menu bar from cluttering up.

Although it would be nice if there is a universal solution, lots of other apps provide an option to hide the menu bar icon and I wish LT would have this feature as well.

@steebchen We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your feedback. Currently, the menu bar icon provides crucial functionality to the app, such as access to the settings, language settings, and more. At this point, it is an important part of the app that cannot easily be removed. However, we value your feedback and will keep it in mind as we continue to develop the application.

I understand, no problem. Just figured it'd be worth suggestion. How most apps handle it is that if you need to access the settings, you just open the app via Applications.
