I run local build and looks like it works, when you move
mainWindow.setAlwaysOnTop(true)
inside theready-to-show
listener.e.g. -
Someone maybe can confirm this and update?
Running Mint 19 (which is Ubuntu 18.04 under the hood). Experiencing the same behavior as @piotrek-k with the amd64 build.
Cannot install i386 on an amd64 system, for obvious reasons.
@piotrek-k, the installer creates a symlink at
/usr/local/bin/pennywise
. You should be able to run the commandpennywise
from any terminal window.Thanks @kamranahmedse for making this. I was looking for something like Helium over the weekend for my non-Mac PCs.
Edit: It’s a known Electron issue on Linux. See electron/electron#12445.
