    A System Tray Icon courtesy of pystray and your friends at PySimpleGUI
    
    Import the SystemTray object with this line of code:
    from psgtray import SystemTray

    Key for the system tray icon is: 
        tray = SystemTray()
        tray.key
        
    values[key] contains the menu item chosen.
    
    One trick employed here is to change the window's event to be the event from the System Tray.
