Menu, tray, notifications (new Composable API, experimental)

What is covered

In this tutorial, we'll show you how to work with the system tray, send system notifications, and create a menu bar using Compose for Desktop.

Tray

You can add an application icon to the system tray. You can also send notifications to the user using the system tray. There are 3 types of notifications:

1. notify - simple notification
2. warn - warning notification
3. error - error notification

MenuBar

MenuBar is used to create and customize the menu bar for a particular window.
