Hi guys

Is it possible to hide my app icon from cmd + tab menu?

 browserWindow: {
    height: 666,
    width: 400,
    preloadWindow: true,
    showDockIcon: false,
    resizable: false,
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true,
      devTools: false,
      contextIsolation: false,
    },

Research direction

Start by reviewing the browserWindow configuration, especially showDockIcon, and checking how menubar 9.1.1 integrates with Electron 15.3.1 on macOS 11.6.1. Confirm whether the requested behavior can be supported and define done as the app remaining available from the menubar while its icon is absent from the Cmd+Tab menu.
