…r#427) Explicitly set template mode on tray icon images using setTemplateImage(true) to ensure proper rendering on macOS Sequoia 15.x / Darwin 26.x. The nativeImage created from path now explicitly declares itself as a template image, which is required for proper menu bar icon display on newer macOS versions. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
This PR fixes issue #427 where the menu bar icon is not visible on macOS Sequoia 15.x / Darwin 26.x.
Changes
app/modules/theme.jsto explicitly set template mode on tray icon images usingsetTemplateImage(true)Root Cause
The
nativeImage.createFromPath()method was not explicitly declaring the image as a template image. On macOS Sequoia, this causes the icon to not display properly in the menu bar, even though the app is running and the image file is found.Solution
By calling
image.setTemplateImage(true)after creating the native image, we explicitly mark it as a template image. This follows Electron's best practices for menu bar icons and ensures compatibility with macOS Sequoia's menu bar rendering.Testing
Test Plan
Closes #427
