Tray icon
I think that tray icon feature is one of expected features of IM app. Together with usual "start minimized", "minimize on close" features.
+1 on this. I was wondering where the Close to Tray feature. It seems not available yet.
ElectronIM is not yet good alternative to Rambox and Franz without this feature.
I'll probably work on this once I'm done with my current ElectronIM task. If all goes well you might expect it in 2-3 weeks 😉
This looks relevant. https://github.com/nwutils/nw-tray-example Should I give it a try?

~~The electron APIs have changed a lot since that project.~~
Update 1: OK, I just saw that the project you linked is using NW.js. Electron provides its own API to use the system tray. This is what should be used instead.
Should I give it a try?
I want to explore what are the possibilities first and learn a little bit about its behavior. For example, in GNOME 2 I need an extension (Tray Icons: Reloaded) to show the tray icons (that's probably why this was never implemented initially).
If you want I can update you when I have a barebones PoC and we can work on this together ;)
Also, another fundamental part is that I never bothered to create an Icon for the application :sweat_smile:, so that one needs to be completed first (#176).
any update on this?
Tray icon was added a few versions back. @gabri94 I'm not sure if you're in need of something else. The issue remains open because it was very generic and we still need to add the start minimized support.
Still needs the close/minimize to tray. Right now it's always active in the taskbar, cluttering up actual open windows for me.
New user, aside from this issue and maybe a Dark Mode/Extension support i'm loving it. Much lighter and better than Ferdium and other clients.
