This has probably been asked a lot of times, but I tried searching and couldn't find anything relevant.
I am building an application in Tkinter that should launch on system start up and stay open until you close it or shut down your computer. The problem is, I don't want my application to always be visible or in the tray bar, I want it to be there only when it has to do something or the user needs it; which brings me to the actual problem: I want to make my application minimize to system tray as an icon once I press either close or minimize window buttons.
However, since I'm writing all my stuff - including balloon notifications and such - in Tkinter, I can't afford to use wxPython because their mainloop would clash. wxPython is not an option for me because I consider it a lot harder to use than Tkinter.
Is there any other library that would not interfere with Tkinter's main loop and would let me create system tray icons and/or menus? I can hide the main Tkinter window while showing the tray icon and that would register as a "Go to Tray" to the user.
Hope someone can help me. Thank you.
