Is it possible to run a function on left click #110

Closed crnkyunicorn closed 2 years ago

crnkyunicorn commented 2 years ago

I’d like to run a function on left click of the tray icon, so essentially bypassing creating a menu. Is this possible?

This is unfortunately not possible since not all supported platforms allow for intercepting clicks at all.

I am not sure of the behavior on all OSes yet (having a lot of trouble getting an icon working on Linux to be honest)... but on Windows, I get a traceback when I left click the icon. Seems to register the click anyway. Not really sure what it's trying to call.

An error occurred when calling message handler
Traceback (most recent call last):

Would be a nice addition to have a left click command where it is supported!
