Linux now shows monochrome (black/white silhouette) tray icons instead
of the colored orange PNGs, matching the macOS template look. Since
Wails' Linux SNI backend ignores SetDarkModeIcon (its setDarkModeIcon
just calls setIcon, last-write-wins) and the SNI spec carries no panel
light/dark hint, the panel color scheme is detected in-process and the
black-vs-white silhouette is chosen in iconForState, pushed via a single
SetIcon.
Detection order (tray_theme_linux.go): freedesktop Settings portal
(org.freedesktop.appearance/color-scheme) -> GTK_THEME env (:dark
suffix) -> default dark. A SettingChanged subscription repaints live on
theme flips. macOS (template) and Windows (colored) paths are unchanged.
Icons are 48x48 mono PNGs (3% margin) generated from the macOS
silhouettes.
NSMenuItem rejected the dedicated netbird-menu-24.png brand mark
(rendered muddy) and the full 256x256 brand PNG (stretched the row).
Ship an 18x18 sips-downscale of assets/netbird.png — same source the
legacy Fyne client used for its About row — to sit visually alongside
the cap-height of the surrounding text.
NSMenuItem.setImage stretches the row to the leading image's pixel
size regardless of the surrounding rows, so any non-empty bitmap on
the About entry made it visibly taller than the rest of the tray
menu — leaving 16, 18 or 22 px versions all looking wrong next to
the unadorned rows above and below.
Drop the macOS brand mark and gate the SetBitmap call on a non-empty
byte slice; iconMenuNetbird is now nil on macOS, so the About row
falls back to text only. Windows and Linux still ship the brand mark
through their per-platform embed files.
The Windows menu renderer paints leading bitmaps into the Win32
check-mark slot (SetMenuItemBitmaps), which differs from how Cocoa
and GTK handle NSMenuItem.image / menu-row icons:
- SM_CXMENUCHECK sizing: Windows expects ~16x16 at 100% DPI in the
check-mark slot and visually overflows the row for anything bigger.
- Disabled-state mask: Windows desaturates both the row text and the
bitmap when MFS_DISABLED is set, so a disabled informational row
renders the coloured status dot in greyscale.
Per the platform icon guidelines:
Platform | Size | Notes
---------|----------------|-----------------------------------------
Windows | 16x16 | check-mark slot, status row stays enabled
macOS | 22x22 (18-22) | NSMenuItem leading image, HIG
Linux | 24x24 (22-48) | GTK4 menu-row icon channel
Changes:
* Split the menu-row icon embeds into icons_menu_{windows,darwin,linux}.go
so each platform pulls its own size; the brand mark is rendered from
assets/svg/netbird-menu.svg (new vector source) at 16/22/24 px with
Inkscape, and the Windows status dots ship as 8x8 content centred on
a 16x16 transparent canvas (the renderer upscales the bitmap, so the
padding keeps the dot visually proportional to the row text).
* Introduce statusRowEnabled() in tray_status_enabled_{windows,other}.go:
true on Windows so the disabled-state mask does not strip the dot's
colour; false on macOS/Linux where disabled menu rows fade the label
without desaturating the leading bitmap, signalling that the row is
informational.
* Add an icon to the About submenu using the same brand mark.
Show a small dot next to the first menu entry that reflects the
daemon state: green for Connected, yellow for Connecting, blue for
NeedsLogin/SessionExpired, red for LoginFailed/Error, grey for
Idle/Disconnected and dark grey for DaemonUnavailable. PNGs are 24x24
with a pHYs chunk declaring 144 DPI so NSImage renders them at 12 pt
while keeping retina-sharp pixel data; circles are supersampled 8x for
smooth edges.
Idle now surfaces as "Disconnected" in the menu label, daemon-status
literals moved to status* constants, and Exit Node / Resources are
gated on the Connected state instead of just daemon availability.
The tray now switches to a dedicated lock icon when the daemon reports
NeedsLogin, SessionExpired or LoginFailed — the latter mirrors the CLI,
which groups these three statuses together as "needs authentication"
and prints the same "Run netbird up" prompt. The macOS template variant
reuses the existing error-macos PNG because the project's macOS tray
PNGs use a 2-color (black + transparent) convention that rsvg-convert
of the badge-style SVG sources can't reproduce. The earlier badge-style
SVG sketches in assets/svg/ are removed (they were marked as reference
only and never matched the shipping PNG design).
Removes the legacy fyne-based client/ui implementation and renames the
Wails replacement (client/ui-wails) to take its place at client/ui. Go
imports, frontend bindings, CI workflows, goreleaser configs and the
windows .syso icon path are updated to follow the rename.
