System tray tooltips in Tauri - rust

Is there a simple way to make a tooltip appear when hovering a system tray icon? This is really common in Windows apps. SystemTrayEvent does not appear to support a hover event, and SystemTray does not seem to have a way to set a hover text.

How to center a tauri app on the osx tray icon

I am trying to center a Tauri app on the osx tray icon, but cannot find a way to do it.
The idea is to make the app open and close on tray icon click, and to make it fixed at the top of the screen and centered on the icon (the y position may change depending on the number of items available from other apps). Something like this:

(Sorry, i tried to add the image to the question, but always got a "Server error" when uploading)
I have searched the docs, but haven't found anything and also didn't find a solution on google
On the tauri.conf.json there is a windows.x and windows.y options, but i don't think i can get this kind of logic there.
I noticed that there is a window.set_position() function that i could call when the icon is clicked. But i am not sure how to get the correct position to enter the window on the icon

Is there a way to change some "special" GUI colors in eclipse?

I have on Linux/KDE a installed version of eclipse Mars.2. But there are strong problems with colors. So there is no different between a activated toolbar button and a inactive toolbar button. At example the "Link with editor" button of the "Project Explorer" view has exactly the same background color if the button is selected or not:
Another thing is that I cannot see if a checkbox or radio button is selected or not. It seems that the foreground color for the check/radio box selections is also identical to the background color. So there is in many configuration views no way to find out what's currently selected and wath's not. In the next screenshot at least one of the "Open mode" radio button must be selected (I assume it's "Double click" button):
Note also that the colors are only in eclipse wrong. In other (native) KDE applications I don't have these effects (at example the foreground of check boxes/radio buttons are black - like I have it expected). Also play around with the color settings in KDE "Application Appearance" has no effects ...
How can I change the colors of these stuff?
There is an Eclipse plugin that helps you import downloaded themes from the online marketplace (themes are free).
This is where you can find it: http://eclipsecolorthemes.org/
You may choose whatever eclipse theme fits your needs!
Good luch!
Ok. Found the solution for my problem on following site:
http://www.jroller.com/andyl/entry/mars_on_linux
Mars is the first eclipse version which uses GTK3 (instead of GTK2 like eclipse versions before 4.5). And on the side above Andrey Loskutov wrotes that may be also the GTK theme (widget style) can be also the problem. The Widget style "oxygen-gtk" should be extremly buggy! After changing the widget style (to now "Adwaida") the problems are gone :-)
You can change the Widget style in KDE by opening in the KDE settings: "Application Appearance" and "GTK+ Appearance".

How to properly display a focus rectangle in a compact SplitView menu item

I'm building my first Universal Windows Platform (UWP) App and am trying to implement the popular "Hamburger Menu" using the SplitView class.
Inspired by many samples, the items hosted on the SplitView pane are re-styled RadioButton controls, with a vertical highlight-rectangle, an icon and a text. The appearance is similar to that of the Groove app.
I'm now trying to implement navigation and selection using the keyboard, and this now bring a little focus-rect around the items in the SplitView pane. However, since the pane clips its contents when its DisplayMode is either CompactInline or CompactOverlay, the focus rectangle is also clipped, which is not the behavior a user would expect.
Please, can anyone advise on how to property display the focus rectangle in this situation ?
Just an idea, what if you set the width of all radio button's to be same as the CompactPaneLength property of SplitView. The default is 48 DIPs.

Transparent icon in start menu for universal app

I'm developing a universal app. I have a list of icons in the manifest. The icon on the taskbar is fine, transparency works.
The start menu icon doesn't have transparent edges.
No edges.
The list of icons that I have.
How would I make the edges transparent? Should I add any other icons?
This is by design as the background (behind the tile itself) may be colored quite differently. In the start menu, there's a dark background whereas there's a white background in the Cortana search. Maybe try sending MS your wishes via the feedback app :)
Seems like that it's by design, as you can see, default Windows Apps behave the same too, even those which use transparent color for their logo (like Calculator, Mail, etc).
However, If you set background color of logo and tile to "transparent" (in app manifest) your app icon may get displayed in start menu with transparent background in some circumstances like when Windows is in hight contrast theme.

Ncurses: Dialog box background color be changed?

I am working on Linux Operating System. I want to display a dialog box on an item selection from a drop down menu implemented in ncurses, but the problem is that the dialog box fills up the screen with blue background and further nothing can be done.So, is there a way to display ncurses dialog box inside current window preserving existing ncurses components?
Thanks in advance.
You might use CDK (Curses development kit) to the create dialog box. It provides many other widgets that you can use such as,
Alphalist
Button
Buttonbox
Calendar
Entry Field
File Viewer
Floating Scale
Floating Slider
Graph
Histogram etc...
