System tray icon without widgets

Question

I'm wondering if there's a way to implement system tray icon + menu functionality without widgets module?

Answer 1

Qt 5.8 introduces a SystemTrayIcon QML type in the experimental Qt Labs Platform module, as part of the Qt Quick Controls 2 offering. It uses a native implementation directly from the Qt Platform Abstraction layer where available, and Qt Widgets as a fallback on other platforms.
