Reminder popup window

[The_Old_Mailman]

Hello *,

I'm using Epyrus 2.1.1 on Windows 11 and I'd like to know if there is a way on this platform to make the calendar reminder popup window to stay always on top of other windows when it is displayed or, as alternative, I politely do a request for enhancement to @Athenian200 in order to include in Epyrus, if possible, the code used by Thunderbird 115 that uses Windows taskbar notifications for reminders too.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I'm thinking it should be possible in theory to use Windows taskbar notifications for reminders, but I am not sure if I can just use Thunderbird 115 code for that... the codebase has likely diverged significantly by now. Even if I can't use that code, it seems like it should be possible to do one way or another.

I do have a Windows 11 laptop now, though, so I do have a test environment setup for this at least.

Thanks, athenian200.

It would be great to have notifications!

This can probably be done as an add-on using js-ctypes.

Wow js-ctypes and ctypes, where mozilla-flavored apps are supposed to be able to call routines inside DLLs, platform-independently (Windows, Linux, and Mac).

Does this actually work for non-compiled aka Add-on code to successfully call arbitrary code, in either system DLLs or non-system DLLs? If so, can it be done from JavaScript inside XUL-based add-ons? That would be great!

Of course it works.
I used ctypes to manipulate taskbar icons in this add-on: https://addons.palemoon.org/addon/favicons-in-taskbar/

I don't know what solution would be the best.

Sicerely, just give me the feature and I'd be a happy man.

BTW, the reminder pop up window stays on top of old win32 applications in Win 11, but newer ones don't respect "always on top" parameter.
