Windows system tray

The answer is 'yes'. If your windows are palette or modeless (I believe), they don't show up in the task bar, and you can use the new 'icon'/'iconmenu' stuff to  create an icon in the tray and show a basic menu when it is clicked on.

Hi All,

Another "Mac user trying to understand Windows" question coming up :-)

In Rev 2.7.2, there are various new & unsupported features to do with
the icon and it's menus. I understand how this works for the Mac's
Dock, but I don't see how it works for the Windows system tray.

When I minimise an app in Windows, I get an entry along the bottom in
the task bar. I would really like to be able to get nothing but a
small icon in the system tray. I know Ken Ray has a method for this
but it involces a separate application, so I don't really want to do
it that way. I will only do it if there is an internal Rev way of
making it happen.

Does anyone know how this works or if it is possible yet?

TIA,
Sarah
