Tray & menus

Tray and menu builders are provided by DotCarbon.Host.Desktop.

CarbonApp.Create(config)
    .UseDesktop()
    .UseTray(tray => tray
        .SetTitle("C")
        .AddEventItem("Open", "tray:open")
        .AddSeparator()
        .AddItem("Quit", () => Environment.Exit(0)))
    .UseMenu(menu => menu
        .AddMenu("File", file => file
            .AddEventItem("New", "menu:new", "CmdOrCtrl+N")
            .AddSeparator()
            .AddItem("Quit", () => Environment.Exit(0))))
    .Run();

AddEventItem emits a Carbon event that frontend or C# listeners can consume. AddItem executes a C# callback directly.

The tray has native implementations for macOS, Windows, and GTK-based Linux desktops. Some Linux desktop environments hide legacy status icons without an extension. Application menu support is currently native on macOS; Windows and Linux report the unsupported path without failing startup.
