I understand the other ones but I don't understand this one. The Android tray does exactly this, background icons on the bar are a mobile feature. If you consider the Windows taskbar to be the ideal desktop experience, it doesn't do that, it hides the icons in a menu.
- apatheticonion 5y agoNot sure what you mean here - both MacOS and Windows have icons in the system tray for background applications and it's been that way since before Android was a thing. Windows does hide excessive icons, which MacOS doesn't do - it's a great way to hide running the pre-installed Skype and Teams at the same time :laugh:
- throwaway82652 5y agoNormally I'm a Mac/Linux user, but last time I tried Windows it hid all the icons by default. They used to show them in older versions but they do not anymore, probably because everyone including the OS vendor itself uses it as a dumping ground for product tie-ins and clutter like that.
