Tray Icon annoyance

Hi Gang,
(Windows 11)

It’s definitely a first-world problem…But One bug-bear of mine is the status pop-up / notification that you get when you restart a server.
It appears “over” the Icon Tray.

In my case I have 3 different (but linked) servers running at the same time.
Whenever I need to restart an application - I actually need to restart all three.
After restarting the first - I cannot “just” go to the second and restart that one because the notification is in the way.

Is it possible to have the notification positioned further up the screen?

I am imagining, there may be a “getMaxTrayIconHeight” function that could be used? so that way no matter what size the taskbar is set to on any given profile - the result will always be above the taskbar?

Thanks.
Gavin,

The position is controlled by this line of code, which is basically hard-coded to the top right for Mac and bottom right for Windows,

github.com

Ortus-Solutions/runwar/blob/develop/src/main/java/runwar/tray/Tray.java#L614


      
              if (waitResponse) {

                  RunwarLogger.LOG.info("Tray menu sync execution of: " + builder.command());

                  Runnable r = new TrayActionSyncRunner(process, command);

                  new Thread(r).start();

          

              } else {

                  RunwarLogger.LOG.info("Tray menu async execution of: " + builder.command());

              }

          

              // Consistent with server popups

              Pos position = OS.isMacOsX() ? Pos.TOP_RIGHT : Pos.BOTTOM_RIGHT;

              Notify.create()

                      .title("Run Command")

                      .text("Executed " + command)

                      .position(position)

                      .darkStyle()

                      .hideAfter(5000)

                      .showConfirm();

          

          } catch (IOException ex) {

              ex.printStackTrace();

But it seems the notify library has limited options.

package dorkbox.notify

enum class Position {

We could add a setting to CommandBox to default the popups in a different corner.
