Sure, If you can see the Init() method of trayicon it calls
isSystemTrayAvailable() which eventually call
QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable()
for 10 times in loop with wait of 3 seconds. Why we have added that logic?
Is that method required to be called multiple times for the correct return
value ? I am asking that because it would be easy for me to refactor the
logic. If we can rely on single call to the function
QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable()
then no need to create a tray icon if system tray is not available.
Meanwhile I'll start refactoring the logic. Thanks
