Expected Behavior

Clicking on the system tray icon should show the main window.

Current Behavior

Clicking on the system tray icon does nothing .

Possible Solution

Looks like it's probably the same as this electron issue, so doesn't look like there's a solve.

Using the Ctrl-Alt-Shift-T shortcut to force the window to show.

Context

Thanks @emlyn-h!

I tested this about a month ago on Ubuntu without issue. With all the variants of Linux I'm aiming for minimum support until I get someone to handle the majority of the work.

One option might be to change the behaviour on Linux.

Context menu on the icon seem to work for me (right click menu style). But it's an extra user click, which feels a bit redundant.

Example: emlyn-h@326ac39

@emlyn-h if you reckon this will run fine on common distros then I'd be happy to merge it. It's good to make sure Tweet Tray is passable for Linux users, as opposed to relying on a keyboard shortcut. 😄

@jonathontoon yeah, might be the safest. The docs seem to have a bunch of Linux limitations listed.
