I second this feature request! It is not just useful for phones but also for desktop users as do not miss new messages so easily. Possible options could be a tray icon or using the background portal to integrate nicely with desktops like gnome shell.

Here's a workaround for minimising to the tray in the meantime:

• Install kdocker
• Run kdocker -i /usr/share/pixmaps/fluffychat.png fluffychat

This issue is stale because it has been open for 120 days with no activity.

I would also like to run in tray and preferably start there with command line flag so I could integrate it to my sway config.d/

[tionis]

What would be needed to implement this?
Does flutter support such an approach in any way?

@tionis This package look like it could work good: https://pub.dev/packages/system_tray

Hi, is there some information about this? I also want to see a tray icon on Linux desktop.

[sitolam]

Any progress?

Nudging this a bit so it won't get "stale". I'd love to have this as well!

Obviously... no.

Please use the emoji reactions instead of causing everyone trying to follow this thread — in a meaningful way — a new notification, only to find out it is some saying "Yeah, me too" or something similar.

More noise leads to these discussions becoming less useful and you don't get a feature very quickly if you spam people with completely unncessary notifications.

If anything, it can annoy and discourage from looking at the issues.

I'm very sorry! I'm rather new to GitHub so I didn't know it was rude to do so.

A beginner question: I noticed that this repository uses a bot that marks an issue as "stale" and after a duration of inactivity, seems to close the issue / request, forever forgotten. I was afraid of that happening, so I felt like I had to "bump".

Does reacting with emoji prevent that from happening?

I usually avoid "bumping" in most other projects because I know the maintainers and contributors can come back to a feature request whenever they want because it's still open.

Again, I'm sorry about my earlier reply, and also for this very reply that is very irrelevant to the project as well. Just trying to understand the process around here.
