UBA System Tray

Unique Bible App supports system tray in desktop version.

With system tray enabled, users can run UBA in the background or call UBA anytime they need it.

The system tray enables users to work with the copied text in the clipboard. For example, users may copy a bible reference, select "Open Clipboard Text Bible References" to open the reference in UBA. Remarks: The keyboard shortcut combo for copying text is "Cmd+C" on macOS, and "Ctrl+C" on Windows, Linux, and ChromeOS.

Use UBA System Tray on Windows or Linux Desktop

System tray menu comes up when users click the system tray icons on macOS. However, on Windows, users need to do a right-clicks, instead of a regular click, on the system icon, in order to open the menu. On Linux, it depends on which desktop environment is used. For examples, opening the system tray menu requires a click on Ubuntu but a right-right on Linux Mint.
