Support Application Tray #158

Open zeyugao opened 3 years ago

zeyugao commented 3 years ago

When using Jetbrains ToolBox, I can shart it by command jetbrains-toolbox if no background process running. But if I minimize it, I can not get it show up again because it hides to the tray.

If I tap jetbrains-toolbox again, it will show up and disappear immediately.

It's so annoying when working with jebtrains-toolbox. If you feel the same, here's one more link to track -> https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TBX-6886

Not really, I don't use it. For me, what I miss is Steam's icon.

But the use cases are of course "infinite", it should be countless how many apps relies on the tray icon to function, especially the ones who closes to it as JetBrains Toolbox, Steam, Teams, Telegram, etc.

Implementing official support for running the full desktop experience (https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019) could be a work-around for some people, depending on the use case.

I personally would like to see this implemented for Quod Libet, Pidgin and ownCloud (where I have to run it under WSL because there are files that are incompatible with the Windows filesystem).

Yeah, technically it is infinite if you have an infinite amount of storage allowing for infinite permutations.
