Feature Request: Startup Option #53

Open gregeeh opened 2 years ago

gregeeh commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Thanks for the great app and I have a suggestion.

For the tray version can we have an option/argument that will start the app minimized to the system tray. Would be very cool !

TIA

This is easy enough, make a shortcut to the application and drop it into your Startup folder. There are lots of ways to do this, just do a search for it or here..

Just close the main window after it startups up and it will still be open in the system tray. There IS actually a way you can change any app to ONLY start up in the SYS tray without opening the main window but I don't remember how.

You can pass --tray start-in-tray to nativefier for it to start minimized in tray.

Great idea thank you.

I'm not sure how to do that.
