Thank you for your feedback. Just to clarify:

Completely hidden or show it on the taskbar as a regular application, instead of in the system tray?

If it's completely hidden, what would be your preference for opening up its main window again?

I can't speak for Donna, but as for me, it meant so when you close the program, it wouldn't actually shut down but continue running in the background without adding an icon to the tray. To reopen the program, you would simply need to run the program's exe file. This scenario is commonly suggested by most applications I have encountered. To exit completely, you could just use the software menu: File => Quit. Of course, there could be an alternative implementation when an option is selected in the settings "Hide icon in the tray" or something similar, it would change the current "Minimize to the system tray/Quit" when closing the window option to "Minimize/Quit" or something along those lines. I agree with Donna that for some people, there is simply no need to display an icon in the tray since hot corners configured once and don't require further attention. Given the current trend of many applications adding icons to the system tray that cannot be hidden, this sounds like a very good option.
