@deermichel It should be possible to support enter / leave by opting into the latest version of the tray icon API using NIM_SETVERSION

I wonder if version 4.x will add this feature. Thank you for all you have done. |

In Windows, Tray mouse-move no longer triggers after switching between primary and secondary screen Settings. |
I've been facing a similar problem with my Windows 11 as well. Do you have any temporary solutions? |
Description of Change
Adds support for the
mouse-moveevent of Tray API on Windows. Due to Win32-API limitations* it currently isn't possible to portmouse-enter/leaveas well. Their behavior can be emulated by usingmouse-moveand a timer.*In order to detect when the mouse leaves the icon, we need to listen for
WM_MOUSELEAVEmessages. This message will only be fired after creating a tracking request using TrackMouseEvent. Apparently,NotifyIcon(Win32 API used to display the tray icon) doesn't work with this method. If I missed sth, feel free to add the other events in a new PR.cc @nornagon @erickzhao
