Issue

❌ Setting the AppUserModelID work with the window-rs crate. See the branch try-notif. However no notification appear for some reasons... It could be required that the app need to be installed with an MSI. Installing with an MSI would allow to create the AppUserModelID. It would then allow me to use a custom icon for the notification.
