If I understand your request correctly, you simply want to close the Awesome Miner main application so you don't see it in the task bar but only as a system tray icon? Simply click the X-button in the upper right corner to close the main window. This will not exit the application - but leave it running in the background and be accessible via the System Tray icon. Was this the behavior you were looking for?
If you want each mining software console window to be hidden as well, you can configure this in the Properties of the miner, on the Environment tab where you can set the Console window mode.
Actually I would like the application to
automatically start minimized to system tray when the user logs in to the account. I want to avoid my kids messing with Awesome Miner - they have been "trained"
to ignore System Tray.
Wanted Behavior:
- User logs in;
- Startup applications load one after the other;
- Awesome Miner loads at startup but doesn't display any window, instead shows its icon in System Tray only.
Actual behavior:
- User logs in;
- Startup applications load one after the other;
- Awesome Miner loads at startup and shows main window, potentially allowing my kids to mess with it (click on stuff etc).
I was hoping for a startup switch (e.g. "/systray") which tells the application "start in system tray only".
