Hi! I've done this kind of thing before. I unfortunately this feature, and not finished. Your version looks cool! But will it run on OS Windows? |

could you explain the reason for this change? Why are we now running the command this way?

this functionality should probably only apply to a windows machine

I think we can just use this clause instead, or not?

@ifedapoolarewaju Hello, please mind that this is just a sketchy pull request and it could had been an enhancement request with some code. I've only tested it on debian stable (i3-gaps latest, polybar latest) and it works fine. I did some modifications to package.json for my own testing purposes (more specifically I had issues with gulp and hence I tried to avoid it) and I also removed some targets from the building process in order to speed up my tests. Of course master's configs won't need any change on an upcoming merge. I also added this dependency "electron-json-config" (yes I know that adding a dependency just for 2 lines of code hurts but I may be useful later, although it depends on the design and the features it wants to provide) to save the color of the icon the user had before exiting, cause I didn't want to mess with cookies. I'm pretty sure the pro version uses something similar for the dark theme. If you are into the idea, please let me know, so that I can remove any conflicts from the configs. But you have to take some decisions : 1) Which icons will be used for the notification tray (I used the ones that where shipped with the app but iirc I did some simple conversions and transformations on them)? 2) How user's preferences will be retrieved? |

@rand0x0m so this tray support applies to windows and linux systems? |
|
@ifedapoolarewaju Yes it does. Sorry for the late reply but I've been really busy lately. |

Isn't the tray thing slowly passing out? 🤔 |

This is more like a blueprint. It is not ready to merge. Decisions about the system tray image should be taken. And package.json should be changed accordingly. I built it for personal use and it works fine with some custom icons.
It would be nice to save user preference on 'light' or 'dark' icon on exit. A design decision should be taken here.
Lastly, shutdown hook needs to be checked again.
