System tray icon for application

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Would it be possible to add an option to let the user minimize the app to the system tray?

Hello,

How can we change the 'Elephant task bar Icon' to a custom icon ?

Thank you

Macwilcy: I think this question has been answered before... anyway... just use Resource Hacker to change the icon. ;)

Release Candidate 31.10 added option to minimize to system tray, see the above commit for the new options.

A tool tip showing the application title when the mouse hovers over the icon in the tray will be a small, but useful feature.
Thanks.

Now with the "minimize_to_tray" option available it would be useful to be able to start php desktop minimized. For example when app needs to run in background and auto start on Windows boot. This could be accomplished by introducing a command-line flag to start app minimized eg phpdesktop-chrome.exe --start-minimized. With this flag and "minimize_to_tray" set to True app would start and show only in system tray.
