Description
Description
The menubar is not updating the changes from the remote url. I have a remote website shown in the menubar but looks like it is getting cached. What should i change to prevent url caching?
Steps to Reproduce the Problem
- .Use the below attached code.
const mb = menubar({tray,icon: iconPath2 ,index:'https://example.com',preloadWindow:true,showDockIcon:false,showOnAllWorkspaces:false,
browserWindow: {
transparent: true,
width: 320,
height: 400,
backgroundColor: "#00000000"
}});
Expected Behaviour
The content should change as per the new data from the url
Actual Behaviour
The content is not changing and keeping it the same what was before. It only refreshes once i relaunch the app.
Specifications
- Menubar version: 9.1.1
- Platform: MacOS 11.5.2
