It's not too hard to do, really, but there are some details to consider. The
icon issue is one, what you do in response to a message is another. If you
want to show a layout, then do you need to use the API to get the cursor
position? If you want to display a popup menu, do you use a native REBOL
layout approach, or do you use CreateMenu+TrackPopupMenu? If the latter,
then you need to catch the messages for the commands you put on the menu as
well.
There is only one tray icon API call to worry about. You use
parameters/flags and a structure to tell it what to do (add, modify, remove
icon) and then respond to the incoming messages.
