# Systray
|
|
|
|
systray is a cross-platform Go library to place an icon and menu in the notification area.
|
|
This repository is a fork of [getlantern/systray](https://github.com/getlantern/systray)
|
|
removing the GTK dependency and support for legacy linux system tray.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* Supported on Windows, macOS, Linux and many BSD systems
|
|
* Menu items can be checked and/or disabled
|
|
* Methods may be called from any Goroutine
|
|
|
|
## API
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import "fyne.io/systray"
|
|
import "fyne.io/systray/example/icon"
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
systray.Run(onReady, onExit)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func onReady() {
|
|
systray.SetIcon(icon.Data)
|
|
systray.SetTitle("Awesome App")
|
|
systray.SetTooltip("Pretty awesome超级棒")
|
|
mQuit := systray.AddMenuItem("Quit", "Quit the whole app")
|
|
|
|
// Sets the icon of a menu item.
|
|
mQuit.SetIcon(icon.Data)
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
func onExit() {
|
|
// clean up here
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running in a Fyne app
|
|
|
|
This repository is designed to allow any toolkit to integrate system tray without any additional dependencies.
|
|
It is maintained by the Fyne team, but if you are using Fyne there is an even easier to use API in the main repository that wraps this project.
|
|
|
|
In your app you can use a standard `fyne.Menu` structure and pass it to `SetSystemTrayMenu` when your app is a desktop app, as follows:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
menu := fyne.NewMenu("MyApp",
|
|
fyne.NewMenuItem("Show", func() {
|
|
log.Println("Tapped show")
|
|
}))
|
|
|
|
if desk, ok := myApp.(desktop.App); ok {
|
|
desk.SetSystemTrayMenu(menu)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can find out more in the toolkit documentation:
|
|
[System Tray Menu](https://developer.fyne.io/explore/systray).
|
|
|
|
### Run in another toolkit
|
|
|
|
Most graphical toolkits will grab the main loop so the `Run` code above is not possible.
|
|
For this reason there is another entry point `RunWithExternalLoop`.
|
|
This function of the library returns a start and end function that should be called
|
|
when the application has started and will end, to loop in appropriate features.
|
|
|
|
See [full API](https://pkg.go.dev/fyne.io/systray?tab=doc) as well as [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/fyne-io/systray/tree/master/CHANGELOG.md).
|
|
|
|
Note: this package requires cgo, so make sure you set `CGO_ENABLED=1` before building.
|
|
|
|
## Try the example app!
|
|
|
|
Have go v1.12+ or higher installed? Here's an example to get started on macOS or Linux:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/fyne-io/systray
|
|
cd systray/example
|
|
go run .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Windows, you should follow the instructions above, but use the followign run command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go run -ldflags "-H=windowsgui" .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now look for *Awesome App* in your menu bar!

|
## Platform notes
|
|
|
|
### Linux/BSD
|
|
|
|
This implementation uses DBus to communicate through the SystemNotifier/AppIndicator spec, older tray implementations may not load the icon.
|
|
|
|
If you are running an older desktop environment, or system tray provider, you may require a proxy app which can convert the new DBus calls to the old format.
|
|
The recommended tool for Gnome based trays is [snixembed](https://git.sr.ht/~steef/snixembed), others are available.
|
|
Search for "StatusNotifierItems XEmbedded" in your package manager.
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
* To avoid opening a console at application startup, use "fyne package" for your app or manually use these compile flags:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go build -ldflags -H=windowsgui
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### macOS
|
|
|
|
On macOS, you will need to create an application bundle to wrap the binary; simply use "fyne package" or add folders with the following minimal structure and assets:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
SystrayApp.app/
|
|
Contents/
|
|
Info.plist
|
|
MacOS/
|
|
go-executable
|
|
Resources/
|
|
SystrayApp.icns
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If bundling manually, you may want to add one or both of the following to your Info.plist:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<!-- avoid having a blurry icon and text -->
|
|
<key>NSHighResolutionCapable</key>
|
|
<string>True</string>
|
|
|
|
<!-- avoid showing the app on the Dock -->
|
|
<key>LSUIElement</key>
|
|
<string>1</string>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
