okay so bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the man pages, and today's main character is SDL_SetTrayTooltip — it's giving "let me update the little hover text on your system tray icon" and honestly? iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_SetTrayTooltip — updates the system tray icon's tooltip. 💅

🎀 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🎀

  • tooltip — the new tooltip, in UTF-8 encoding. may be NULL. no cap, NULL is allowed here. 😌

okay so listen. this function should be called on the thread that created the tray. not a different thread. the same one. that's the vibe check and you gotta pass it, fr fr. 🧚
