How do I put the application into systray?

This is partially mentioned here: https://github.com/chocolatey/ChocolateyGUI/issues/107

Describe The Solution. Why is it needed?

Either another button for minimalizing into systray would work, or a setting in settings to override that minimalizing would minimalize the application into systray instead of the taskbar.

Plus another option to start the application minimalized or in systray, which would work well in my setup (launching the GUI on startup)

I tried searching for it and it isn't there. Searching for "sys" found nothing in the GUI settings.

Also, the systray icon should notify the user when there are updates ready by changing itself. Like a red dot or something.

Additional Context

Just a side note on how I got to use this package manager - Recently, I found out some unicode symbols weren't working for me, as I'm using Win7 (i.e. the last operating system from M$ that doesn't outright suck) and my Twemoji colour font replacement (which adds symbols to the system symbol fonts of Win7) was too old. When I went to upgrade it, it seemed too cumbersome, but it had a Chocolatey package to automatize the process. And that's how I got here. :)
