Hi everyone, I made a tauri-plugin-nspopover plugin to display a beautiful native popover on macos.

Nice job! Thank you for doing this and for sharing it!

Looks good
I couldn't understand what's actually displayed there, is it webview? how can it be customized

nice, just seeing this haha. I just concluded a PR for implementing a custom popover view for an example project i'm maintaining

And I saw this solution, but I forgot about it and didn't suggest it to you 😅

Hi @slender briar ! Yes, it's just a webview moved from window to popover. You can customize its size and icon in statusbar.

Do you have any plans to port any more native macOS stuff to Tauri)?

[lethal quail]

Not yet, but I'll probably do something. It was in the plan to make a plugin to get and subscribe to accent color in macOS.

[rustic field]

yes, I sometimes wrote this accent/system colors as css variables in one of my tauri project

then I can use it in my tailwind class for example className="text-control-accent"

What do you think on the snippet I shared?

How soon do you plan on working your accent color plugin? We can work on it together, or do I start the project?

[lethal quail]

Maybe later, or you can start it yourself. The snippet looks good, I use a similar one too, but I also have some code to subscribe to change the accent color in macOS settings

[rustic field]

can you share the subscription code, or point me to the API used?

so that i can include it in the project

[lethal quail]

I just used NSDistributedNotificationCenter with AppleColorPreferencesChangedNotification

i like it sooo much, but really need a way to open it programatically or event with a shortcut

[lethal quail]

I'm working on it

Thanks you so much 🙏🏽
