    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 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?

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

            @SGaist

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

                No, you should get some inspiration from it.

                  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.

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