📄 Description

Currently, the monarch window will show itself when opening the tray icon context menu. This is because a window must be set as the foreground window when the context menu opens, otherwise the menu won't be able to be dismissed when clicking outside of the context menu.

This PR makes the tray icon create a non visible/interactable window for the sole purpose of being set as the foreground window when the tray icon's context menu is opened. Then none of the terminal windows should be set as the foreground window when opening the context menu.

Closes #10936
