@ron Yes, it's only accessible in the App class. You still boot your app via an App class, so you can access it from there, right?

I could make it available from anywhere, but I don't know if it's needed.

No

I'll make this very clear in the guide. Will write a chapter for this tonight.

Wait I have to actually check that when I am home

Did you get around to adding preferences info to the guide, btw?

OK, let me know!

I'm thinking about adding specialized support for TabPane so that you can dock views as tabs and also make the active tab the provider for

savable

,

refreshable

and also the target for

onSave

and

onRefresh

calls. That would be a killer feature for apps where you don't use the Tabs mode in the workbench, but you might still want different tabs inside the active editor.

@edvin you are are running windows 10?

(or anybody else)

the trayicon does not show up on windows 7 it does show a blank spot where it should be

it does show up on a Mac

so I hope somebody can test on a win 10 machine

https://ronsmits.org/~ron/keepassjava/fxlauncher.jar and run it

@ron Windows 10 here. My guess is that you're using an image that Windows 7 refuses to load in the tray. Try a smaller sized image, or even a BMP.

can you test it on win 10?

just dowload the launcher and run it?

@ron i was just chased from my office by a ventilation guy, will test when I can go back :)

concerning the location of the trayIcon if you have it in your App derived class then you will have to store the trayicon probably in the controller to have easy access from your code to it

I think the image is too big, according to the interweb it should be 16x16. the mac sizes it nicely

@ron I use 16x16 for windows, 20x20 for Mac, and 24x24 for Linux

png or ico?

.png

I just read that apperently windows 7 only accepts ico

transparency looks bad on linux b/c of a bug i mentioned before

I know

@ron Maybe you can use a gif if that's easier? This web page looks like a .gif example on Windows 7 (the screenshot may be even XP)

its a gif (bulb.gif) I converted the png to ico and made a “when” clause to select the right file
