Does shoes have menubar/tray app support? #285

Open ghost opened 7 years ago

@rucuriousyet Please ask on Shoes 3 or Shoes 4 depending which one you're asking about. In general. Shoes does not have menus so there is nothing to build a menubar with. Depending on the platform and shoes version their may be 'workable' tray support - depending on what you want to do.

So, in shoes(3 or 4) it's not possible to do something like System Tray in Java?

Thanks for the Java pointer. Shoes 3 can not do that - no structured menu support. I've added the request to Shoes 3.3 . Shoes 4 uses swt instead of awt/swing - I have no idea if swt has that ability and if it's cross platform.

@rucuriousyet, @ilovemysillybanana please see https://github.com/Shoes3/shoes3/issues/363 and provide your opinion and even better, a use case.

Some brief searching look like SWT (which Shoes 4 uses) should be able to put something in the system tray on Windows. Will take some research so I logged https://github.com/shoes/shoes4/issues/1462.
