開発スタッフがアプリ関連の最新技術やニュースをご紹介します。

Microsoft社が新型のSurface ProとSurface Laptopを発表しました。

従来機から見た大きな変更点として
これまで主にSurface Xシリーズに搭載していたARMアーキテクチャCPUを
搭載していることがあげられます。
以前から噂のあったQualcomm社のSnapdragon Xという名称のSoCを搭載しています。

新型Surface Pro と Surface Laptop どちらも
Snapdragon X Plus と Snapdragon X Eliteから選択できるようで
Elite とある方が上位モデルのようです。

Microsoftはこれらの機種を「Copilot+ PC」と謳っており、
クラウド上ではなく、デバイス上でAIを利用した機能を実行できるとしています。

AIアシスタントのCopilotが最新のGPT-4oに対応する事や、
新機能であるRecallの発表もありました。

CPUの変更によってバッテリーの持続時間が伸びているであろう事や、
発熱が抑えられているであろう事、
Microsoftが推しているAI機能についても面白そうという期待はありますが、
昨今の為替事情もあり、最も安価な構成でも販売価格が20万円を超えるという点でなかなか手を出しづらいなと思います。

In the realm of desktop application development, Electron.js stands out as a robust framework for building cross-platform apps using web technologies. Among its many features, integrating tray icons can significantly enhance user experience by providing quick access to essential functionalities. Today, let’s explore how we can implement tray icons in our Electron.js application, from setup to implementation.

Setting Up A Electron.js Project

First things first, let’s set up a basic Electron.js project:

1. Initialize a new Node.js project

mkdir project_name && cd project_name
npm init -y

2. Install Electron.js

npm install electron

3. Create project files

project_name/
├── icon.png
├── index.html
├── index.js
├── node_modules
├── package.json
└── package-lock.json

– `index.html` for the application’s UI.

– `index.js` for Electron main process code.

– An icon file (`icon.png`) for the tray icon.

– add `start` command in package.json like this.

{
  "name": "project_name",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1",
    "start": "electron ."
  },
  "keywords": [],
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "electron": "^29.0.1"
  }
}

Implementing Tray Icon Functionality

Next, let’s dive into implementing the tray icon functionality in `index.js` file:

const { app, Tray, BrowserWindow } = require('electron');
const path = require('path');

let tray = null;
let mainWindow = null;

app.on('ready', () => {
  tray = new Tray(path.join(__dirname, 'icon.png'));

  mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 800,
    height: 600,
    show: false,
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true
    }
  });

  mainWindow.loadFile('index.html');

  tray.on('click', () => {
    mainWindow.isVisible() ? mainWindow.hide() : mainWindow.show();
  });
});

Running Your Electron.js Application

To run Electron.js application, execute the following command in the terminal:

npm start

This command will start Electron application, and we should see the tray icon appear in our system tray. Clicking on the tray icon should toggle the visibility of the application window.

Conclusion

Integrating tray icons into Electron.js application is a straightforward process that can greatly improve user experience. Whether it’s for displaying notifications, providing quick access to features, or simply adding a professional touch to our app, tray icons are a valuable addition to any desktop application.

With Electron.js, implementing tray icons becomes seamless, allowing us to focus on crafting an exceptional user experience for our desktop application. So why not enhance our Electron.js app with a sleek tray icon for innovative ideas?

Hope you enjoy that.

DuckDuckGo’s privacy-focused browser is now available for Windows users. The Windows release comes nine months after the browser’s public release for Mac users, and the Windows browser, now in public beta, includes many of the same privacy protections as the iOS version, Mac and Android browsers. I’m here.

Users can first import passwords and bookmarks from another browser or password manager. This browser does not yet support extensions, seems to be available in the near future.

The browser includes its own password manager that can remember and auto-fill your login credentials. DuckDuckGo for Windows can now suggest strong passwords for new logins. The company says the feature will become even more useful once it launches private cross-device sync, allowing users to sync their saved bookmarks and passwords across different devices.

The browser includes Duck Player. This is an embedded video player designed to protect her from tracking cookies and targeted ads when a user watches his YouTube. The company notes that YouTube still tracks video views, so users aren’t completely anonymous, but none of the videos they watch on Duck Player contribute to personalized recommendations or his YouTube advertising profile. said. You can leave this feature on all the time or join individual videos.

DuckDuckGo says it is working to bring its Windows browser on par with its Mac browser, including improvements such as faster launch performance, pinned tabs, HTML bookmark import, and additional fire button options. You can see more detail relating with this launch here.
