System tray icon for application about phpdesktop HOT 9 OPEN

I also would like this feature. I want to build desktop widgets based on your 
project.

Two points of reference for anyone attempting this feat:

It is still open for discussion what system tray functionality should be 
implemented. For what I see that would be needed is:

1. A dictionary option in settings.json like "tray_menu", that would define 
elements in the tray menu and their corresponding command identifiers. For 
example:

  tray_menu = {
    "Action 1": "command1",
    "Action 2": "command2"
  }

2. Javascript bindings need to be created for communication between system tray 
and application. When "Action 1" is clicked, a javascript code would be 
executed in main browser window, something like 
"SystemTray_CommandCallback("command1")". You would need to define that js 
function on your webpage to intercept executed commands from system tray.

3. From javascript, you can communicate with PHP scripts by using 
XMLHttpRequest. This is already possible.

4. Probably some javascript API would be needed. A "PhpDesktop" object would be 
available in javascript that would have functions like: MaximizeWindow(), 
MinimizeWindow(), RestoreWindow(), MinimizeToTray(). I don't know what exactly 
is needed, haven't though too much about it.

Please share with us your use cases for the system tray, so we can decide what 
API would need to be added to PHP Desktop.
