fluent-tray

Fluent Design-based GUI Library for System Tray Applications

Concept

fluent-tray provides a simple system tray icon and menu to easily create resident applications that do not require complex windows.
All you have to do is include a single header file since only the native API is used.
Currently, only Windows is supported.

Demo

Code

Simply create a FluentTray object and add a menu with .add_menu().

#include "fluent_tray.hpp"
 
int main()
{
    using namespace fluent_tray ;
 
    FluentTray tray{} ;
 
    // Initialize the tray icon.
    tray.create_tray("demo", "demo/assets/icon.ico") ;
 
    // Add menus in order from the top.
    tray.add_menu("Home", "demo/assets/fa-home.ico") ;
    tray.add_separator() ;
 
    tray.add_menu("Download", "demo/assets/fa-download.ico") ;
    tray.add_menu("Insight", "demo/assets/fa-line-chart.ico") ;
    tray.add_separator() ;
 
    tray.add_menu("Coffee", "demo/assets/fa-coffee.ico", true) ;
    tray.add_menu("Desktop", "demo/assets/fa-desktop.ico", true) ;
    tray.add_separator() ;
 
    tray.add_menu("Exit", "demo/assets/fa-sign-out.ico") ;
 
    // Start message loop
    tray.update_with_loop() ;
 
    return 0 ;
}
