- Last Known Working Electron version: not sure
Expected Behavior
Tray icon to appear when I'm opening my electron app.
Actual Behavior
Tray icon isn't showing
To Reproduce
Use this function:
import { Tray, Menu, app, BrowserWindow } from 'electron'
import path from 'path'
export default (win: BrowserWindow) => {
let appIcon = new Tray(path.join(__dirname, 'images/logo.png'))
const contextMenu = Menu.buildFromTemplate([
{
label: 'Show',
click: () => {
win.show()
},
},
{
label: 'Exit',
click: () => {
;(win as any).isQuiting = true
app.quit()
},
},
])
appIcon.on('click', (event) => {
if (win.isVisible() && !win.isMinimized()) {
win.hide()
} else {
win.show()
}
})
appIcon.setToolTip('Test')
appIcon.setContextMenu(contextMenu)
appIcon.setIgnoreDoubleClickEvents(true)
return appIcon
}Inside the place where you create a BrowserWindow, like this:
win = new BrowserWindow(browserOptions)
win.on('close', (event) => {
if (!isProd || win.isQuiting) {
saveState()
} else {
event.preventDefault()
win.hide()
}
})
win.tray = createTray(win)Since it's placed into win object, it is not garbage collected.
Additional Information
It works perfectly on windows: tray icon is shown, everything works as intended. But on macos tray icon isn't shown by some reason.
