Hide VLC from taskbar while it is maximized

[ultrasound91]

Hi friends.
Currently is possible to:
- Keep VLC maximized with system tray icon and taskbar icon
- Keep VLC minimized to systemtray with no taskbar icon
I request possibility to keep VLC maximized, with system tray icon but no taskbar icon.
I temporarily solved this problem with an autohotkey script:

Code: Select all

#NoTrayIcon DetectHiddenWindows On sleep, 100 title = VLC Media Player Control: ifWinExist, %title% { WinHide WinSet, ExStyle, +0x80 WinShow } sleep, 10 Goto, Control

But i hope that this function will be integrated in VLC in future.

If VLC icon is hidden from taskbar, how can I re-open it? From my opinion, the icon on taskbar is needed.

Program can be opened from system tray.
I need option to include/exclude vlc from taskbar.

Valid idea, I have added a ticket 19110 so we may add this to VLC some time.
