Deltachat-desktop: Put in system tray on close (Background Mode)?

[Simon-Laux]

An option to put it in the system tray instead of completely closing it would be cool.
Telegram and Discord (also skype, but that application is a pain to quit) do that.

• [ ] Tray icon with menu

• [ ] Don't quit on close, close only the window

• [ ] Make a setting to disable the tray icon / background mode

I personally don't want this and I don't see why we should do things because other apps are doing it. However, this is just my personal opinion and if others want it I don't mind.

[Simon-Laux]

Yeah lets wait on opinions on that one first.
Also Thunderbird doesn't add a tray icon.

Also Thunderbird doesn't add a tray icon.

This is the only thing I don't like in Thunderbird :)
I would like a background mode so I can focus on the opened apps and keep the messenger in the backgroud. I always use Telegram in this way. IMHO it would be a "whishlist" feature. Not fundamental but to be added.

1 - 2 :)

+1 on the "wishlist" feature list

@Simon-Laux in case you're still bored, this could be a nice feature?

[Jikstra]

Closing as no one works on this currently

The Tray Feature is needed very much. (UbuntuMate)
