GUI: minimize to system tray when closed

[nkprince007]

How exactly do we tackle this? GDE and Unity don't have system tray, right?

[abhay-raizada]

yes neither do KDE and windows and Mac, but i guess there are thrid party services that do this, we've got to search

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.8.8/wx_wxtaskbaricon.html#wxtaskbaricon is a nice way if someone wants a starting point

I think this serves even better, bro @abhsag24

@nkprince007 the previous one was windows only i think. I think yu'll have to implement all of these differently

[nkprince007]

since I'm on kde I can't proceed any further on this

Is this design alright? @nkprince007 @abhsag24

Screenshot hid the menu, so had to take a pic. -_-!

[abhay-raizada]

@Aniq55 yes this looks good for the basic case might want to add a menu entry to maximize and bring back the normal GUI ?

[Aniq55]

Yeah Cool @abhsag24

@Aniq55 please wait until the Event starts, you shouldn't be contributing before time IMO

Nah it's okay. GSoC has the same rule you can make prototypes.
