MacOSWindowManager().showInDock()

Window(
state = state,
onCloseRequest = {

08/22/2025, 10:11 PMneed to see how this lines up with some investigation i did into this a few months ago when i was working on tray based apps. i remember the hardest thing for me to get was to prevent my app from showing in the app switcher (super + tab) https://dev.to/coltonidle/compose-for-desktop-window-tricks-55mf

08/23/2025, 7:06 PM@seb Yes I tried this solution but it does not suit me, because I want to be able to display a window that displays an icon in the dock but the window of my tray does not display one, I had to manage this dynamically, so I was forced to do this with jna

08/24/2025, 2:48 PM@Colton Idle If you pay attention in the video, there are 2 windows, the main app and the companion app. I don't want to display the icon in the dock when only the companion app window is visible.
