Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have set "Only show a tray icon when updates are available or in case of errors".
My problem is that the tray icon appears too often.
I then always have the annoying urge to manually install the updates instead of waiting for them to be installed automatically (which I would prefer).
Describe the solution you'd like
Similarly to the option "Show a notification if an update has been available for (in logged-in days) I would like to an option to "Only show a tray icon when an update has been available for (in logged-in days) or in case of errors".
Describe alternatives you've considered
Alternatively I could select "quit" in the tray icon's menu. But does this also stop automatic updates?
Additional context
I am using mintUpdate 6.0.9 with Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the existing tray-icon setting and the logged-in-days notification setting in mintUpdate's UI and preference handling. Done means users can configure the tray icon to appear only after the chosen update age or when errors occur, while automatic updates continue as before.
