Close to tray? #311

Closed LinuxMason closed 5 months ago

LinuxMason commented 5 months ago

I'm thankful for the minimize to tray, but why is there no close to tray? Would be great if this feature is added.

Thanks. That solved my issue.

But that brings me to my next question. Why can't the tray icon remain in the tray? I don't like how the tray icon disappears when betterbird is in the foreground.

Can anything be done about this?
