@edvin I have Apple's SpriteKit in mind

Checking.

Off topic question... speaking of IntelliJ... Am I wrong in that they came from Togethersoft? Back in the day when I first heard of them and started using it I thought it was some guys from Togethersoft... Anyone know if that is true? Or am I showing my age...

Never heard of Togethersoft

They had a UML/code tool... Together/J must have been back in the early 2000s

Just curious if anyone remembered...

gods that is old!

🙂

me too

well if we go that way who remembers what became of "Forte for Java"?

Hah... i remember that too...

I used that a lot

well that and gnuEmacs

Tray Icon example: https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/issues/255

Wrapping that in a builder would be neat.

trayicon { menu("Foo") { menuitem("Bar") { setOnAction( {...} ) } }

Allright, I'll do it 🙂

Maybe this builder should work directly in the App class?

Off the top of my head yes... I don't know if/why an application would switch it's tray icon? Maybe to signal a change?

We could give access to it later as well, but I think it only makes sense to create it in the app class, so the builder should probably only "work" from there, i.e it will not be an extension on EventTarget, just on

App

.

@jchildress You can put a badge on the system tray icon, say for an incoming notification or message

@carlw Yep... so you should be able to change/update the icon...

agree

@jchildress I sent a heartbeat over to the tray icon before too

for connectivity

@User uploaded a file: TrayIcon support committed :)

Notice the handy

fxThread

parameter to the actions. Since the actions are performed on the Swing UI Thread, the

fxThread = true

pushed them onto the JavaFX Application Thread so you don't need to wrap the code in

Platform.runLater

.

OK, back to bed for me 🙂

@edvin does the trayicon function only work in app and not in workspace?

you added it to the App class and the Workspace class does not inherit from that it inherits from the View class
