QtQuick.SystemTrayIcon

This QML module provides light weight SystemTrayIcon element.

import QtQuick 2.15
import QtQuick.Controls 2.15
import QtQuick.SystemTrayIcon 2.15

SystemTrayIcon {
    id: systemTrayIcon
    quitOnLastWindowClosed: false
    visible: true
    icon: Image {
        id: image
        source: 'heart.png'
    }
    contextMenu: Menu {
        Action {
            icon.name: 'document-open'
            text: qsTr("Open")
        }
        Action {
            icon.name: 'document-close'
            text: qsTr("Close")
        }
    }
}

Why we need this?

Qt Labs Platform plugin provides SystemTrayIcon. However, as the documentation says, it needs the QtWidgets library just for a system tray icon because it uses QSystemTrayIcon internally.

This QtQuick.SystemTrayIcon doesn't depend on QtWidgets.

Requirements

• Perl
• Qt 5.15 or later
  • QtGui
  • QtQuick
  • QtQuick Controls 2
