Send application to tray #26

I would highly appreciate if the tool could be sent to tray and or taskbar.

When the app is sent to tray, I can imagine additional functions triggered via a menu opened via right click on the tray icon like:

Hide the green window border for less distraction
Switching between custom by user defined profiles defining different "sharing" areas. Maybe those areas could be also read from fanyzones areas from MS powertoys.

Why a tray icon, why not just minimize it?
You don't need to read areas form fancy zones, just drag it to the zone of your choice.

Hide the green window border: So how would you know what region you are sharing if you can't see it?

Totally agree. Not worth implementing anything like this.

Hide the green window border

I would like to hide/unhide the green border by e.g. doubleclicking on the tray icon. Or right click on the tray icon and tick/untick the "show border" menu item.

I would also like to hide the green border. I use the Dell Display Manager to define a 16:9 area in the middle of the wide screen into which the windows snap automatically. This way I always have windows in the "correct" area where the RegionToShare window is.
