Hide tray icon #6

Closed dimqua closed 6 years ago

dimqua commented 6 years ago

Can you please add a possibility to hide tray icon of the program?

ltguillaume commented 6 years ago

To be honest, I don't think that would be wise: the tray icon is the only UI element of the program, and as such the only way of closing / restarting it. Tray icons can easily be removed from sight by Windows' internal feature to hide tray icons. Anybreason why that doesn't suffice for your use case?

I just want to save the space in tray. By hiding single icon this can't be achieved, since it can't be completely hidden by Windows. And I don't need to close/restart the program usually or see it's status.

Of course, it should only be placed in advanced settings (as rstray.ini switch).

So... You're worried about 1 triangular "tray icon overflow" button?

ltguillaume commented 6 years ago

This is just the .ahk file that shouldn't show any tray icon. Just put it in the folder with rstray.ini and redshift.exe. You can run it by downloading AutoHotkey and associating autohotkeya32.exe to .ahk files. rstray.ahk.zip

Thanks!

I think it's possible to use hotkeys for enabling/disabling redshift.

Yeah, that's true, but I meant Redshift Tray with "the program", not Redshift. Sometimes AutoHotkey loses the keyboard hook (so hotkeys don't work anymore) and the easiest way to get it in order again is to restart the script (in this case Redshift Tray). That's why there's a "Restart" option via the tray menu. But in your case, it should suffice if you just open the .ahk again.
