is There a way to minimize gameex to Tray icon?

[palindrom]

i was wondering if this was possible, i didnt see any option for it, may another program can make it possible. It would be a must for me!

i would like gameex to load when widows start and stay in the tray icon, where i can open with a click, then minimize it to tray at will. This way i could let the gameex program open all the time, i dont want it staying in the task bar while i use other program.

(sorry if my english is poor)

You could place a shortcut to GameEx within your Start Menu, right-click on the shortcut, then left-click on Properties. If using Windows Vista/7 select Minimize from the Run: dropdown, then click Apply, then OK to close.

well, i just tried exactly as you say, with no success, it start maximized in fullscreen and minimize to the taskbar (intead of the tray as i want)....

Did you try it?

If possible it would be nice if when i close gameex, it minimize to the tray instead

Only problem I forsee there is the Attract Mode popping up every 15 or so. Can't you just right click the exe and select start minimized? Or maybe that's what Draco was saying?

Unfortunately, plaindrom, you cannot there from here. Items in the "tray" are for quick access instead of having to use the start menu or all Progams, or desktop icons. Taskbar is where minimized programs will reside until maximized again. If you re-read your original post, you said that you were looking for a way for GameEx to open at startup. You did not mention that you wanted to exit GameEx to Windows to cause GameEx to minimize instead of shutting down.

If you click in the upper-right corner, GameEx will go from fullscreen to windowed mode. From there you can miniize to the taskbar. Otherwise, you can go to Advanced Configuration under Display Settings and on Page 2, change the settings from Full Screen to Windowed, save the change, then open GameEx and resize the window to a fullscreen size (caveat being that you will always have a windows frame around yoru GameEx screen.

Adultery, you are correct. That is what I was saying. I am not sure if there is any other way to achieve what he is wanting to do.

There are quite a few apps on the web that allow you to minimize any application to the icon try. Do a search on Google for "minimize to tray". If you want something free try "minimize to tray free".

Thanks, HK. I did not think of that and was looking at the native Windows and GameEx functionality.

well, thank for all your quick reply and help..i found a little ulility called ''trayconizer'' that do almost as i wanted, when i minimize gameex it go to the tray.

i mapped a ''minimize'' key with hotkey so i can minize to tray and open it at will.

Still it would be nice if the developer would implement it in gameex in the future

Here is my humble newbies request ''ADD a minimize to tray instead of closing gameex option''

You should post that in the feature request thread.

I would move it there for you but my mobile IP Board version doesn't allow this and I'm not at home today. It would be better noticed over there however.
