Issue #261 wontfix

obi created an issue 2021-10-05

Trayicon example on Ubuntu 18.x does not work using Delphi 10.4

Works on macOS!

Not work means no Icon is visible after click on checkbox: Trayicon Visible

Maybe missing some libs?

The main issue, that Ubuntu get rid of API for tray icon. There is no way to add new tray icon in Ubuntu, we don’t have a way to fix that, since it is a OS limitation.

Hi Eugene, i have found this from Googling, it seems that there are apps that have tray icons in Ubuntu 18.04/20.04

https://tipsonubuntu.com/2018/05/25/re-enable-shutter-app-icon-ubuntu-18-04-system-tray/

and this shows some code to enable tray icons from an electron app (javascript) in 20.04. Click the screenshot link to see it…
