Package systray is a cross platfrom Go library to place an icon and menu in the notification area. Tested on Windows XP,7,10 and Linux Mint 18.3.
func main() {
// Should be called at the very beginning of main().
systray.Run(onReady, onExit)
}
func onReady() {
systray.SetIcon(icon.Data)
systray.SetTitle("Awesome App")
systray.SetTooltip("Pretty awesome超级棒")
mQuit := systray.AddMenuItem("Quit", "Quit the whole app", systray.ItemDefault)
}
func onExit() {
// clean up here
}Menu item can be checked and / or disabled. Methods except Run() can be invoked from any goroutine. See demo code under example folder.

You can use filetobyte utility at cmd folder. Two ways:
- Do
go get github.com/amkulikov/systray/cmd/filetobytesand after that use compiled binary directly, or use code generation in your project
//go:generate filetobytes -package=tray -dest=tray/data.go path/to/iconfile/or/iconsfolder
- Use
go runto execute util.
//go:generate go run github.com/amkulikov/systray/cmd/filetobytes/main.go -package=tray -dest=tray/data.go example/icon
It will generate file data.go in tray folder that will contain
var filesByteData = map[string][]byte{...}
where key is a path to sourcefile and value is a binary representation of resource.
