mainWindow.loadFile('index.html')
// Open the DevTools.
// mainWindow.webContents.openDevTools()

// This method will be called when Electron has finished
// initialization and is ready to create browser windows.
// Some APIs can only be used after this event occurs.

// dock icon is clicked and there are no other windows open.
