elo jens!

@sindresorhus: It's a bit more complicated since Linux is so flexibe. There are many desktop environments/window managers to take into consideration. A start would probably be KDE & Gnome. That should be fairly easy as well.

We're using Electron here, so Piglet can easily support what it supports, and I'm pretty sure it supports any Linux distro.

But electron would still require some API to access the native window manager's task bar. It's possible with Windows and Mac because they only have one window manager. However, as said, it's probably easy to do it for KDE/Gnome. Maybe there already is an API for those two.

@linde12 for unity should be simple also.

@andersonweb: agreed! Then it'd the major linux DE's!

[andersoonweb]

Yeah ! @linde12

Well, we are limited to what is implemented in Electron.
The Electron tray docs page has listed some limitations.

But it looks good. Gtk support.
