5d6e9872d4* fix(systray): highlight status item and ensure popup appears above other windows on macOS Fixes #4910 This commit addresses two issues with the systray-menu example on macOS: 1. System tray icon not in selected state upon clicking: - Added systemTraySetHighlight() function to control the NSStatusBarButton highlight state - Set highlight:YES before showing menus via popUpStatusItemMenu - Added onAttachedWindowShown/Hidden hooks for managing highlight with attached windows - Note: For attached windows, the highlight may briefly flash due to macOS NSStatusBarButton behavior where mouse-up clears highlight state 2. Popup doesn't display on top of other windows: - Set window level to NSPopUpMenuWindowLevel when positioning systray popup windows - Call orderFrontRegardless to ensure the window appears in front The fix adds onAttachedWindowShown() and onAttachedWindowHidden() to the systemTrayImpl interface to allow platform-specific handling when the attached window visibility changes.

The menu highlight (set before popUpStatusItemMenu) and window level fixes remain. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(v3/macos): use native menu tracking for systray highlight and focus (#4910) Replace popUpStatusItemMenu: (which never provided native highlighting) with a local NSEvent monitor that temporarily sets statusItem.menu before the button processes mouse-down events. This lets macOS handle menu tracking natively, which: - Keeps the status bar button highlighted while the menu is open - Does not activate the app or steal focus from other windows Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Introduction
The traditional method of providing web interfaces to Go programs is via a built-in web server. Wails offers a different approach: it provides the ability to wrap both Go code and a web frontend into a single binary. Tools are provided to make this easy for you by handling project creation, compilation and bundling. All you have to do is get creative!
Features
- Use standard Go for the backend
- Use any frontend technology you are already familiar with to build your UI
- Quickly create rich frontends for your Go programs using pre-built templates
- Easily call Go methods from Javascript
- Auto-generated Typescript definitions for your Go structs and methods
- Native Dialogs & Menus
- Native Dark / Light mode support
- Supports modern translucency and "frosted window" effects
- Unified eventing system between Go and Javascript
- Powerful cli tool to quickly generate and build your projects
- Multiplatform
- Uses native rendering engines - no embedded browser!

FAQ
-
Is this an alternative to Electron?
Depends on your requirements. It's designed to make it easy for Go programmers to make lightweight desktop applications or add a frontend to their existing applications. Wails does offer native elements such as menus and dialogs, so it could be considered a lightweight electron alternative.
-
Who is this project aimed at?
Go programmers who want to bundle an HTML/JS/CSS frontend with their applications, without resorting to creating a server and opening a browser to view it.
-
What's with the name?
When I saw WebView, I thought "What I really want is tooling around building a WebView app, a bit like Rails is to Ruby". So initially it was a play on words (Webview on Rails). It just so happened to also be a homophone of the English name for the Country I am from. So it stuck.
