In the latest version, this is the list of options from the System Tray icon...

Web Control Advanced Control

Protein Viewer

Full Medium

Light

On Idle

Pause

About Quit

I would like to see 2 changes. We either need to add a Fold option to counter the Pause option, OR since you can click on Pause to UnPause the slots, the "Pause" option should change to "Unpause" contextually.

Alternately (my preference), you could add the Pause option to the Full, Medium, Light grouping, and then make it use one single check mark. You are either be paused, or folding in one of the three Power settings.

I would also like to see the Finish option added to the systray menu. Add it to the On Idle option section.

Final result might look like this...

Comment by @kbernhagen Just tried 7.3.12 in VMWare to see how it worked now.

Defect: For me, the Pause item was checked while the client was Folding, and unchecked when paused.

Comment by @kbernhagen Off topic, but I fixed the Pause menu check mark for 7.3.13.

Comment by @jcoffland Finish is potentially confusing to the novice user.

Comment by @PantherX Umm, not finding the Finish option in an easy-to-find place was a major complain of V7.3.6 and these are by donors who aren't novice users.
