I see your point. And I agree with it. I'm not suggesting to override user preferences. But there are some specific cases when a tray icon application loses most of its functionality from disappearing. The Windows API could at least let the developer know when the icon gets hidden: this way the user could be presented with a one-time dialog that informs about the user experience change that happens when hiding the icon.
Or, this could be an app permission requested to the user.
Just my 2 cents of course.

If something isn't urgent and actionable, why is it so important that it be shown to the user? It should be up to the user to decide if and when they want to see it.
- alediaferia 12y agoWell IIRC tray icon notifications on Windows will only be shown for a limited amount of time. What if the user wasn't at the PC at the time?
