Package systray is a cross platfrom Go library to place an icon and menu in the notification area. Tested on Windows 8/10, Mac OSX 10.11 and Ubuntu 16.04.
This is a fork
This is a fork of https://github.com/getlantern/systray which focuses on cross compilation or mingw directly in windows instead of a precompiled windows dll file which is used in the upstream project.
Systray can be cross compiled for Windows (using http://www.mingw.org/ ) and OSX (using https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross ) from ubuntu using or similar systems.
Usage
func main() {
// Should be called at the very beginning of main().
systray.Run(onReady)
}
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")
}
Menu item can be checked and / or disabled. Methods except Run() can be invoked from any goroutine. See demo code under example folder.
Platform specific concerns
Linux
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev
Checked menu item not implemented on Linux yet.
Windows
Mingw is needed to compile under windows.
Try
Under example folder.
Place tray icon under icon, and use make_icon.bat or make_icon.sh, whichever suit for your os, to convert the icon to byte array.
Your icon should be .ico file under Windows, whereas .ico, .jpg and .png is supported on other platform.
