Album art doesn't show in taskbar thumbnail when sonixd is minimized about sonixd HOT 3 CLOSED

Unfortunately I don't think was working properly pre-0.5.0 either. This seems to be a limitation of Electron, where I believe a snapshot of the main window is taken before being minimized. This is an issue because the taskbar thumbnail image is a crop of the player bar in the main window using setThumbnailClip. Electron doesn't have a way to add a static image as the taskbar thumbnail.

What I can do is to revert it to the default taskbar thumbnail behavior when the window is minimized like so:

And when the window is restored, it'll go back to the cover image.

I think what caused me to think that it worked previously, was that I have a windows 10 machine and a windows 11 machine.

On the windows 10 machine I see the issue when minimizing sonixd, but for some reason on windows 11 it does keep showing the thumbnail even after minimizing (even in v 0.5.0)

That makes sense!

I was on a W11 machine when I developed this feature and have since reverted back to W10. I'll add to keep the current functionality on W11 but revert to the window view on W10 when minimizing.
