I know that this question was raised before for v.9
[url]Minimize to tray]
but I wonder if there's been any consideration for it since then (2011)?
Giving user the choice of minimizing Opus to the System Tray only?
I'd guess that subscribers use Opus exclusively, run at Windows startup, so it's always on.
So, some don't really need to be reminded that it's running by it being shown on the Task Bar and could have the choice to minimize it just to the Tray whenever they want to clear the screen?
[ My reason is that I'd just like temporary apps to be shown on the Task Bar while running (eg. GOM Player while I watch a movie, Or Irfanview while I edit a photo)... just so I can immediately see what is optionally running, to keep it lean and mean.]
You can close the window and it'll keep running, then open a new window. Depending on settings, the new window can be the same as the one which was closed.
For multiple windows at once, you could use a command that saves everything to a layout and closes the windows, and make the tray icon double-click load that layout.
Thanks for the reply, Leo.
I'll take that as a "No !", haha.
Ok. That was all I wanted to know.
(The multiple-window alternative will be fine for a techie but befuddle a country boy ; I'd have no clue on how to begin to implement that, even if I understood it. It would be interesting to know how many subscribers are geniuses and how many are not).

You mean the Notification Area. The term System Tray died long ago, although Microsoft has to throw it in from time to time for people who haven't caught up yet, and probably still prefer Directory to Folder. (I mean, who would think of calling it Folder Opus?)
Having the Task Bar icon allows you to quickly revive the window you want to use. Is that sort of thing possible with the Notification Area icon?
System Tray is fine, and the more common name which more people are likely to understand, even if Notification Area is more technically correct.
On Windows, directories are a subset of folders, but that isn't important here either.
Please (not just in this thread) stick to things that will help the person asking questions get things done. I enjoy tech trivia and pedantry myself, but a tech support forum is not the best place for them.
I too searched for this.
Leo did (a bit briefly)mention this in reply to one of the numerous threads.
It will give nearly the same effect.
That is you can close the last lister (I only ever have one lister open).
It will disappear from Taskbar, but the icon remains in the sys tray.
To get it back you double click the sys tray icon.
(Make sure the option elsewhere to open the last closed lister is ticked, instead of it opening the default lister).
Here is how to achieve/simulate 'minimize to sys tray'-
