Description

### Description of the new feature / enhancement

Allow all system tray icons to be displayed on the dock.

### Scenario when this would be used?

Currently, it’s all hidden inside the system tray, and if we expand it, it takes up the entire taskbar space, so it would be better to have it on the dock.

### Supporting information
