QSystemTrayIcon, change behavior

[hbatalha]

@SGaist

Then you might have to pilfer the backend code of QSystemTrayIcon since you have no use of it beside the notification part.

Where do I find the code?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

In the git repo or e.g. here: https://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtbase/src/widgets/util/qsystemtrayicon.cpp.html

@Christian-Ehrlicher thank you
Is there any step by step on how to build it from source, or in which category here in the forum can I post a question?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

Why do you want to compile Qt5 now?
See https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/build-sources.html

[hbatalha]

@Christian-Ehrlicher just out of curiosity

@SGaist

What exactly did you mean by "pilfer the backend "? Should I remove some code?

[hbatalha]

@Christian-Ehrlicher or https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/windows-building.html

No, you should get some inspiration from it.

@SGaist
I don't see how that will help me achieve what I want, I went through the code in @Christian-Ehrlicher 's link but couldn't find anything that would help me, I might be missing some things.

[SGaist]

You have to do some more spelunking and go to the backend side of things to get the Windows specific implementation.

@SGaist I will try
