Description

Hi, every time the user clicks on the tray icon, it opens a new window. I think that 1 max window would be sufficient.

Thanks !

Research direction
Inspect the code that handles the tray icon click event. Look for logic that creates a new window and modify it to check if a window instance already exists before opening a new one. Consider using a singleton pattern or a static reference to the window.
