Subject: [FR] icon for w32 notification message
Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2023 12:57:57 +0000

I use this form to send message to the desktop:

    (w32-notification-close
     (w32-notification-notify
      :body "Body."))

But it doesn't display an Emacs icon like this:

    +------------------------+
    |[ICON] GNU.Emacs   ... X|
    |                        |
    |Body.                   |
    +------------------------+

How about adding an icon for this message, like most apps do?

MS-Windows 11

The :icon parameter (and its default, if :icon is not specified)
defines the icon shown in the system tray, not the icon shown on the
notification "balloon".

You can have a limited fixed set of icons expressing the severity of
the notification displayed, like this:

(w32-notification-notify
  :body "Text notify"
  :level 'error
  :title "Title")

Feel free to submit patches that allow that.  I'm not sure I see how
to do that using the Shell_NotifyIconW API, but maybe I'm missing
something.
