Research direction

Read the web_responsive addon’s AppsMenuPreferences implementation and the user profile header code to identify how the preferences wizard is opened and how profile actions are added. Move access to the wizard from the systray into the profile header with an “Apps Menu Preferences” button; done when users can open and set the same preferences from My Profile.

Description

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem?
The AppsMenuPreferences popup is visible in the systray.

  1. The options offered are not used in day-to-day operations
  2. Accidentally clicking the systray icon opens the popup. Dismissing the popup forces a refresh, leading losing (in some cases) the previous context (e.g. filters)

Describe the solution you'd like
Since the options offered are deemed preferences, move the options to the user profile (My profile) where each user can set the settings he/she wants.
In order to reduce re-implementation overhead, add a button "Apps Menu Preferences" in User Profile header element that with pop up the preferences wizard.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Adding option to show / hide the systray icon
