i love this application and i like having it on at all times i just wish i could minimize it to system tray so it wouldn't clutter my taskbar

You don't need to run the GUI if you're not actively working with it. Close it.

See FAQ.md#does-the-gui-need-to-be-running-for-raw-accel-to-work and FAQ.md#does-the-gui-need-to-be-run-every-time-i-start-my-pc

Yes, it is frustrating to have the GUI popping on and having to close it on startup. With InterAccel we could add a "-m" argument, but this doesn't work on RawAccel. So the solution is to run the driver alone:

  1. In the RawAccel folder you "Create a shortcut" for "writer.exe" & copy the fullpath of "settings.json" in this same folder.
  2. Window + R > "shell:startup" > paste the "writer.exe" > go to its Properties > modify the target by pasting the fullpath of "settings.json" at the end separated by a space.

This will now run in silence on startup without the GUI, without tray system.

Thanks Lucas!

Note: In the RawAccel folder you "Create a shortcut" for "writer.exe". And not of the main app as I did on autopilot :)
