Always appears in taskbar #91

I no longer seem to be able to get this to only appear in the systray. It always has a button on taskbar as long as it's running.

Running XFCE under Arch.

Hi, thanks for reporting it : I've just checked and discovered I have the same issue with gnome.

Will investigate asap.

Apparently the "window.hide()" behaviour changed, and there's a skipTaskbar property that is not supported on Linux.

(can't remember how often I said I hated electron :) this is once more)

win.setSkipTaskbar(skip) macOS Windows

    skip boolean

Makes the window not show in the taskbar.

EDIT

good (?) news is there is an undocumented way of hiding from taskbar. Will try to make a fix soon.

DAMN ! I thought I would manage but nothing works as expected so far.
