The <code>tray</code> module allows you to create an icon in the

|
|
|

operating system's notification area.

The demo button sends a message to the main process using the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>ipc</code> module. In the main process the app is told to
|
|
|
|
|
place an icon, with a context menu, in the tray.

</p>
|
|
|
|

|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
In this example the tray icon can be removed by clicking 'Remove' in
|
|
|
|
|
the context menu or selecting the demo button again.

<h2>ProTip</h2>

|
|
|
<strong>Tray support in Linux.</strong>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|

|
|
On Linux distributions that only have app indicator support, users

will need to install <code>libappindicator1</code> to make the
