Future implementation of the tray icon

[ransome1]

I’d like to gather the requirements for a potential future implementation of the tray function.

Let’s begin by reviewing the current behavior when the tray icon is visible.

This follows the default behavior provided by the Electron framework’s APIs.

On a Mac

• sleek window is closed
  • left click on tray: opens application window
  • right click on tray: open tray's context menu
• sleek window is open in foreground
  • left click on tray: open tray's context menu
  • right click on tray: open tray's context menu
• sleek window is open in background
  • left click on tray: brings application window to foreground
  • right click on tray: open tray's context menu

On Ubuntu with GNOME

• sleek window is closed
  • left click on tray: open tray's context menu
  • right click on tray: open tray's context menu
• sleek window is open in foreground
  • left click on tray: open tray's context menu
  • right click on tray: open tray's context menu
• sleek window is open in background
  • left click on tray: open tray's context menu
  • right click on tray: open tray's context menu

On Windows

• sleek window is closed
  • left click on tray: -
  • right click on tray: -
• sleek window is open in foreground
  • left click on tray: -
  • right click on tray: -
• sleek window is open in background
  • left click on tray: -
  • right click on tray: -

I need someone who can provide details on the current behavior of the tray icon on a Windows machine, as I don’t have access to a Windows system at the moment.

Once all the information is gathered, I’d like to discuss the expected tray behavior across different operating systems.
