System tray icon

[wl2776]

Is there any way to make SourceGit running permanently and hide into system tray on closing main window?

When I close SourceGit's main window, I'd like to have it running, just hide into the system tray.

I've quickly checked in a fork: system tray icon works in KUbuntu 24.04.

However, I'm not very familiar with C# and .Net, so my development of this feature will be very slow.

I'm sorry. Currently, there're no plans to add this feature.

I've started implementing this feature in https://github.com/wl2776/sourcegit/tree/feature/system-tray-icon

Could you point me to a documentation or tutorials? I cannot figure out how to make main window to unminimize.

I right-click on system tray icon, then click on "Preferences" menu. However, main window does not appear.

If I open it manually, it shows preferences dialog.

I haven't seen such a Git GUI Client that offers this. And I really do NOT want to add it to SourceGit.

Please, check SmartGit.
This option is in its low-level properties.

And I really do NOT want to add it to SourceGit.

This could be turned off by default, and switched on by editing config file. I will figure out how to do it.
