Description

Type of Issues (Enhancement, Error, Bug, Question)
  1. Qt SystemTray is not showing icon (just a blank space) when I give it base64 bytecode. I don't know if it matters but I even brought the size down (in the original image that I then converted to bytecode from the site referenced in the docs ( with the leading tag removed)

    1b. (Qt) Buttons don't like re-opening windows (no discernable interpreter errors) after they've been closed. This is using a design pattern similar to the second "Multiple Window" demo among the demos for the root PySimpleGUI

  2. Qt doesn't have anything similar to .update_animation or UpdateAnimation? Or am I just missing a differently named equivalent?

  3. Same issue as #2448

Question

Is it a bad idea (given the certain existing limitations on both ports) to use say


import PySimpleGUIQt as qt

#...

In one module and in another module in the same package:


import PySimpleGUI as gui

#...

Would that make for ugly overhead that still isn't justified by shutting my tantrums up? 😛

I just want to say that I really didn't want to add this stuff to your issues because this package is otherwise so great. It's really because I like using it so much that I am even trying to get advice to clarification from y'all cuz I want to finish my project with this over anything else. So, I do hate to bother you, but help would really be appreciated!

Research direction

The report names PySimpleGUIQt 0.31.0, PySimpleGUI, the Qt SystemTray, button-created windows, and update_animation, but no repository file or test. Start by reproducing the three Qt questions from the supplied snippets and comparing the relevant demos and documentation; done means each limitation or supported usage is answered.
