Tray info doesn't appear

Hi,

First, thank you so much for this great tool!

Since v5, I'm encountering an issue though. With v4.x, you could see the active profile by putting the mouse pointer above the tray icon, and the tooltip would show the current active profile. With v5, it doesn't work that way any longer (the tooltip always shows "NetSetMan"), so I activated the Tray Info option.

Unfortunately, the Tray Info window doesn't always pop up. Sometimes I hover my mouse above the tray icon, and nothing happens. I'm not quite sure what makes the Tray Info window disappear (maybe after launching the Unity editor, but it seems it can happen erratically with other cases too). Quitting and relaunching NetSetMan fixes the issue.

An easy fix would be at least to restore the 4.x behavior, i.e. setting the current profile name as the tray icon tooltip. At least, we could still see which profile is currently active, and for those who don't want to use the Tray Info at all, this tooltip would be helpful.

Thank you!

Re: Tray info doesn't appear

The tray icon component has indeed been replaced in version 5.x. We have also removed the constant updates of the tooltip with the current profile name for various reasons. In our understanding, the Tray Info should be the prefered option if at least one of its information is relevant.

However, if the Tray Info stops showing up at some point, this would be a problem we need to solve.
We have heard about this from one other user as well, but so far we haven't been able to reproduce this.

If you can, please try to identify what happens right before it stops working. We understand, that it can it can be quite tedious and annoying to analyze such problems, but we need to be able to reproduce it in order to fix it.
