Description

one thing that happened just now is my superproductivity is set to open in the tray as default. "No window to show." message popped up of course. i clicked and the application showed up fine! but that notice is still there. I will obviously change my launch preferences in the app, but i figured i'd let you know about this UX snag.

thanks so much for making this widget - i've wanted this for such a long time :)

Research direction

Start by tracing the code that displays the “No window to show” message and handles opening an application configured to start minimized or in the tray. Reproduce the launch flow, then verify that the notice is dismissed when the application window becomes visible and that the existing behavior remains unchanged in other cases.
