Wayland support for set_visible?

[flukejones]

Apologies, this is my first foray in to use of winit via egui. I'm in need of set_visible for an app that can run in the background - but this feature doesn't work on wayland.

Is there any plan to add support for set_visible in wayland?

We should be able to use set_hidden in order to implement this.

What sort of application are you making? As far as I'm aware, you won't get much of any input events from Winit on Wayland if your window isn't focused (or visible, even).

The goal is to be able to hide the window and show it later from a tray icon click without entirely restarting the program

No that's irrelevant, decorations have nothing to do with that.

From what I know this is usually done by destroying the window and creating it over on reaction to some dbus event. The only way to make window invisible on Wayland is by dropping it and creating later on. There's no way to do it differently, sorry.
