Tray Icon?
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". I know that tray icon can be easily done with AWT but is there something for JavaFX? Is it possible to create a tray icon with JavaFX? Thanks Davide
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".

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

Re: Tray Icon?
I should also point out that this shortcoming was identified nearly 9 years ago. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8092115 I would love to make some progress on this, but I think doing it right is a bigger job than “outsiders” can tackle. 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. In a modular JRE we shouldn’t need the Swing modules to have a system tray icon in a JavaFX app. Scott > On Jul 31, 2020, at 7:34 PM, Scott Palmer wrote: > > No you can’t.

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.

JavaFX tray icon.
Hi guys, will we ever see a tray icon support in JavaFX? I'm trying to style my tray icon PopupMenu with AWT but sincerely I'm not able to do it. Hope that JavaFX will support tray icon soon. Is there some hope to see tray icon in Java FX? Thanks Davide
System tray icon in KDE Plasma 5
Hello. Previously, to create an icon in the system tray I used the AWT. But now it turns out that this method is not applicable to the KDE Plasma 5, they refused XEmbed. Whether it is possible implementation of SystemTray in JavaFX? --- Yaroslav Pronin
