Re: Tray Icon?
My mistake. Sorry. I read the question a bit too fast :-). Anyway, here is an example of how to use the AWT system tray from within JavaFX. Maybe it helps: https://gist.github.com/jewelsea/e231e89e8d36ef4e5d8a I just verified that this still works with Java 11+. Otherwise I fully support the idea of getting this shortcoming fixed in JavaFX itself.

Ideally most of the desktop APIs should be supported by JavaFX without AWT/Swing. I think that requires some careful thought. Some of the code should be independent of the UI toolkit and it could be shared between the AWT and JavaFX implementations.

No you can’t. System tray support is something else, not an application icon in the start bar or doc.

Re: Tray Icon?
You can add such an icon to your JavaFX app if you bundle it with the jpackage tool distributed with JDK 14+ Am 31.07.20 um 23:07 schrieb Davide Perini: Hi all guys, love JavaFX, it's so productive, so easy to use, can't understand why the world don't use it "for some tasks".
