As I mentioned a week or so ago, this year I am going to release whatever I am working on, on a regular basis. The idea is that even if I fail or release something that is half finished, I can learn more by turning it out to the wild than if I never share it with anyone.
These bits of code are not big enough to be called apps, and don’t have enough explanatory text to call them demos or tutorials (although I want to do that as well). I’ll call them…. code sketches!
The first one I worked on over the New Year break. It’s code for a simple system tray, done in Java. The code is available from scn, and the license is GPL.
Java allows access to native System Tray notifications.
You can check it out here, on the code sketch page: /code/sketches/system-tray
