# tray
A `Tray` represents an icon in operating system's notification area, it is
usually attached with a context menu.
```javascript
var app = require('app');
var Menu = require('menu');
var Tray = require('tray');
var appIcon = null;
app.on('ready', function(){
appIcon = new Tray('/path/to/my/icon');
var contextMenu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([
{ label: 'Item1', type: 'radio' },
{ label: 'Item2', type: 'radio' },
{ label: 'Item3', type: 'radio', checked: true },
{ label: 'Item4', type: 'radio' }
]);
appIcon.setToolTip('This is my application.');
appIcon.setContextMenu(contextMenu);
});
```
__Platform limitations:__
* On OS X `clicked` event will be ignored if the tray icon has context menu.
* On Linux app indicator will be used if it is supported, otherwise
`GtkStatusIcon` will be used instead.
* App indicator will only be showed when it has context menu.
* When app indicator is used on Linux, `clicked` event is ignored.
So if you want to keep exact same behaviors on all platforms, you should not
rely on `clicked` event and always attach a context menu to the tray icon.
