Show menu bar item when reopening an already running app #114

Suggestion

When ClashFX is already running and the user opens the app again, it would be helpful if the app could actively reveal or focus its menu bar item instead of doing nothing visible.

Why this matters

On some MacBook setups, the menu bar can be crowded or partially hidden, so the ClashFX menu bar icon may not be visible. In that situation, reopening the app from Finder, Launchpad, Spotlight, or the Dock feels like it should bring the running app back into view, but currently the user may still not know where to find it.

Expected behavior

If ClashFX is already running and the user launches it again, please consider one of these behaviors:

  • Show or highlight the ClashFX menu bar item.
  • Open the main menu/popover directly.
  • Bring up a small window or notification explaining that ClashFX is running in the menu bar.

This would make the app easier to recover when the menu bar icon is not visible.
