LiveCode Forums.

I tried searching the LiveCode Dictionary for anything pertaining to the Windows tray but could not find any. Can anyone get me up to speed with how it's done? Or is it not possible? Similarly, I would want to make a menubar icon counterpart for the OS X version of my app.

You can look in the release notes pdf (from the help menu) about the "statusIcon" of a stack. Note that it is experimental, and might be glitchy.

Hi, I checked it out and it seems to be what I need. However, there's no OS X support (it says Windows only). Is there a way to do this on OS X too? Any workarounds or hacks?

Not that I know of, i faintly remember that someone did an external for that, but maybe I'm imagining things

Also note that, despite all the apps that do it, the HIG for Mac OS X explicitly forbids applications to put icons into the topright corner of the menubar.

Well if that's the case, screw Apple and what they want, I still want it lol, I still hope it gets implemented soon.
