[$100 USDC] Implement Tray icon support on Windows #141

Closed EmilFattakhov closed 3 months ago

which function tray icon need, just hide to try icon and click to show app page?

I think hiding to tray icon is the first step, having some menu on it would be a bonus. Because tray icon is not supported we resort to minimizing an app instead.

just do some investment with this issue, other existing libraries do not support GTK4, for windows, it may be possible to implement the bind system call (https://github.com/rodrigocfd/winsafe/blob/b6337f6c6a145877f014de98f656141b60484f7c/src/shell/funcs.rs#L220), but it will be more complicated for Linux(not know much). so i want to confirm if it is necessary to use GTK3 to build this application?

I think you meant GTK4? If so then GTK4 doesn't have support for tray icon, meaning I have no idea how you'd use it.

The goal ultimately is to support tray icon, if you find a library that is not GTK-specific, it is still fine to use overall, but ideally we wouldn't call raw Windows APIs directly.

i think i can do archive close and open in windows in my early code. will try in my ubuntu later. but sorry for mac, no mac machine
