MacOS version: high memory usage, large application icon and bottom pane is difficult to reopen after closing

首先，很荣幸使用作者的优秀产品，赞👍。

MacOS端个人使用体验给点点点建议：

1. 内存占用，希望能像windows一样完美，低内存占用。下图是我常用的几个终端工具对比：
   

2. 图标大小建议，很明显偏大：
   

3. 界面功能， 希望底部能够有最小化窗口，可以直接打开/最小化，而不是直接隐藏了底部栏，需要去重新勾选 显示底部栏：

You are welcome.

1. Did you open tabs? If not, 403.9MB memory is really too high. My self-test data is that MacOS version uses about 178MB memory after opening. But this is still too high. I will figured out what's causing it, because the Windows version usually only uses 40MB memory.

2. Yes, I also noticed this. It's just that this size looks okay in other systems. I will reduce the size of the icon in the next version.

3. In subsequent versions, the interface is likely to use the Qt Advanced Docking System. At that time, we will see if it still needs to be improve.

1. 未打开任何tab：

2.期待新图标
3.期待增强

The previous 400MB really scared me. 😄 The current 207MB is not much different from 189MB of my self-test. I will investigate why such a high amount of memory is consumed. Please stay tuned, thank you.

With zero tabs opened, 1.23Gigs of memory usage is horrible.

I am happy to inform you that WindTerm_2.3.1 has been released and this icon issue has been fixed. Please download and check it. If there are still bugs, please let me know, thank you.

@liyanggyang
The application icon has been reduced in size in the version WindTerm_2.3.0. It also takes up less memory. Especially in the x86_64 macOS, only 70-80MB is needed after startup. On the M1 macOS, probably due to Rosetta 2, 160-170MB of memory is still required. It is expected that after the WindTerm M1 version is released, it can take up as much memory as the x86_64 version.

icon？？？

After you close WindTerm, you can see the dock icon get smaller. When running, the dock icon should be from the system's icon cache, you can clear the cache and try again. Thank you.

No effect after clearing...

I run the cleanup script:

sudo rm -rfv /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store; sudo find /private/var/folders/ ( -name com.apple.dock.iconcache -or -name com.apple.iconservices ) -exec rm -rfv {} ; ; sleep 3;sudo touch /Applications/* ; killall Dock; killall Finder

Strange, I will look into the issue and will have an answer for you later.

I am happy to inform you that WindTerm_2.4.0 has been released and the icon size has been fixed. Please download and check it, thank you.

Regarding memory usage, although the memory at startup has not been reduced. However, thanks to dynamic memory compression, the runtime memory is greatly reduced. You can refer to the following test data:

Memory Usage(MB)	MacOS Terminal	WindTerm 2.3.1	WindTerm 2.4.0 Linux Scheme Word Wrap On	WindTerm 2.4.0 None Scheme Word Wrap Off
seq 1 100,000,000	1670MB	860.1MB	1185MB	196.8MB
seq 1 2,000,000,000	Out of memory	Out of memory	Not Tested	770.8MB
