Tray It!

Post by **Noel** » Sun Mar 08, 2009 3:51 pm

A nice free little application to "tray" programs.
I'm using it to tray source (Plugwise). It runs on Windows 95/98/Me, NT/2000/XP and does not require any installation.<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">TrayIt! allows to save precious Taskbar space for minimized windows. For each application which applies TrayIt! it creates a small icon in the System Tray. (System Tray area is located near the Clock). When application's window is minimized this icon represents the application on the Taskbar instead of the regular "minimized rectangle".<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">Get it @ http://www.teamcti.com/trayit/trayit.htm

It's a nice tool but is it possible to restore the window when the program has shut down?

Waarom zelf het wiel nog een keer uitvinden.

I'm using BLAppLauncher for starting all my application after a reboot.
Nice thing about this application is that you can delay startup for every application..

Just tried Tray-It and it works GREAT!

Restore the window: double click the icon in your system-tray or right-click the window and then select restore.

Hi,

I use DM2 (http://dm2.sourceforge.net/), which I think is more powerful than TrayIt. It supports floating icons and transparent windows:
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">One of the nicest and most popular features of DM2 is minimizing windows to floating icons (unique feature!) freeing both task bar and tray bar space. Moreover, DM2 can manipulate windows in various ways: minimize to tray, make them standing always on-top over all other windows, roll to caption, resize, align to screen borders, hide, set the opacity etc.

It also has a plugin so you can have virtual deskops (like Unix) although I like VirtuaWin (http://virtuawin.sourceforge.net/) better. This way you can really clean-up your desktop and group programs per virtual desktop (domotica, office tools, media, etc.). Background processes I minimize to the tray and hide them with the tray icon autohide function of Windows XP.
