This goes back to an earlier comment: do we really need this AlwaysOnTop parameter? Are we willing to sell the frame-less-ability for it? My opinion is that it looks better without a frame and I think, it feels also more like a taskbar app. Fether use-case today doesn't justify the need to have it always on top.

I am for keeping the frame-less window, have the window hide on blur (like literally any taskbar app I've used) and we call it a day :)

Oh and to allow users on windows and linux to close the app, we should have a menu item on the taskbar icon that says "quit" or "exit" on left-click (again that's the standard behaviour).

do we really need this AlwaysOnTop parameter?

No we don't. I've created a simple PR #435 that addresses #411 so that the Fether window is not always on top by default (i.e. the Fether window blurs when the user clicks anywhere else on the screen).

The other PR #415 is an optional extra that allows users to toggle enable/disable whether the Fether window is always on top or not. The user would obviously need to be able to access the Fether menu to be able to click the menu item.

Are we willing to sell the frame-less-ability for it?

The "frame" is required at the moment because otherwise the Fether menu does not appear at all on Windows and Linux Mint. PR #415 only adds an additional menu item, but there are other menu items that the user may need to use.
In the short-term thought it would be best to add the "frame" for Linux and Windows since otherwise they cannot access the menu.
In the long-term, I will investigate whether we can get the Fether menu to appear when the user right-clicks the Fether window, that was we can make it "frameless" again on Linux and Windows, like it is on macOS.

I agree, "frameless" is better. As mentioned earlier in the post, I've created PR #435 so it isn't always on top by default anymore.

I agree that always on top isn't really needed, and I also think the best would be to have "Exit Fether" as a menu item in the tray icon contextual menu; that way we could also keep Fether frameless

Yes, at the moment the 'Electron/Fether' menu tab is only shown on macOS, we can also show the 'Electron/Fether' menu tab on Linux/Windows but just with the 'quit' menu item

We can close this one, I created a dedicated issue for the menu: #438
