Windows users have long wanted greater flexibility in the system tray, but it's been up to developers like 4t Niagara Software to provide it. We looked at 4t Tray Minimizer Free, a free tool that can minimize any running application to the system tray, also known as the notification area. That's enough on its own, but 4t Tray Minimizer can also roll up any window to just its title bar; make windows transparent; hide programs without displaying a system tray icon; set hotkeys for minimizing, maximizing, and launching applications; and toggle the entire system tray open and closed.
The program's installer includes a setup wizard for setting basic options such as launching at startup and displaying a system tray icon. We were also able to configure how 4t Tray Minimizer appears in Windows menus as well as add programs to its exclusion list and set hotkeys and title bar buttons. The title bar is a set of small, mostly transparent set of buttons that blend perfectly with the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons in Windows' upper right border and appear in any non-excluded program. We could quickly hide (minimize) a window to the system tray and restore just it, any other window, or all windows by right-clicking the program's system tray icon and selecting our choice from an extensive menu of controls and options, including setup options. That's valuable, but we also had fun with the control that minimizes windows to their title bars, which proved handy for keeping several intricate displays active and accessible but out of the way. The program offers several ways to activate its functions, including hotkeys, menus, and control icons. The program's main interface is a horizontally split view displaying hidden windows above a list of Favorites; it's quite basic but handy if you have a lot of apps hidden or just prefer an actual interface. However, there doesn't seem to be anything you can't do faster and more directly from 4t Tray Minimizer's system tray icon.
We sure like 4t Tray Minimizer Free, which is a great example of how clever programming can add genuinely useful features to Windows that somehow were overlooked or omitted in the official release. If you're one of the many Windows users who has longed for a better, more useful system tray, wait no more.
I'm looking for a utility for Windows that will, with a keyboard shortcut send an application to the system tray, and hitting the same keystroke (or even a different one) to restore it. This behavior is very similar to Apple + . when using Tweetie to show/hide the app in OS X.
This is probably not the exact answer your looking for but you can force most apps back into the systray, that used to be in vista and below like Live Messenger and Skype, by running them in vista compatibility mode. This will also turn off other win7 features for that app like task items in the taskbar but it may get you what you need. Again the app must be an app that would run in the tray if it were run on Vista or XP.
Though there are numerous changes/shortcomings in Windows-11's latest update (perhaps Build 22621 onwards), particularly vis-a-vis Taskbar and Start menu, which irritate the veteran users like me much, but one of those thing giving trouble to me is that Utorrent is not getting minimized to taskbar tray. When open/active, it remains in Taskbar. And when you close it from the taskbar, it gets fully closed. Earlier, when we've set 'Minimize to System Tray' (and 'Close Button Closes UT to tray) utorrent's own preferences/options, it used to get minimized to tray and keep working in the background.
RBTray lets you minimize running app windows to the system try. RBTray has no user interface or icon of its own. While running, you can minimize most windows to the system tray by right-clicking on the window's minimize button. You can also minimize by holding SHIFT and right-clicking the title bar of an app or pressing WIN-ALT-DOWN ARROW on the keyboard to minimize the active window. To exit RBTray, right-click on one of the minimized application icons in the system tray and select exit. Or run RBTray Portable again and you will be asked if you want to close the running copy.
I mentioned this in discord and was asked to post it here. I would like to see an option to minimize to the system tray when the window is closed, as well as a global hotkey to hide/show the window. Both Flashnote, and My Notes Keeper which I used prior to Obsidian, had this feature and it is very nice to have it always a hotkey away but not always on the taskbar.
