Sync app menu bar visibility state with macOS 15 system controls#1029
Conversation
Add sync mechanism to detect when macOS system settings make the menu bar icon visible and update the app's internal state accordingly. This fixes the issue where toggling the system menu bar settings doesn't sync with Easydict's internal hideMenuBarIcon setting. Co-authored-by: tisfeng <25194972+tisfeng@users.noreply.github.com>

macOS 15 introduced system-level menu bar icon controls (Settings > Desktop & Dock > Menu Bar). When the system toggles Easydict's icon to visible, the app's internal
hideMenuBarIconsetting remains stale, causing state desync.Changes

The fix leverages SwiftUI's lifecycle: when macOS system settings make the icon visible,
onAppearfires on the label, triggering the sync. No polling required.Original prompt
