Qt Interface: Minimize to Tray Button or Option

Postby gylgamesh » 14 Sep 2011 13:09

When using Qt as interface I want to be able to minimize the player to the system tray directly from the VLC player window, either with a special button or with a setting that would minimize the VLC player window when stopped, paused or even playing to the system tray.

Thank you.

I would also like to see this as an option in a future update. Windows Media Player enables minimal control including pause, next song, and volume control from its minimized state. The button in the tray also takes up a little less space. This would be nice for VLC to be able to do. PS - I love VLC. I no longer use Media Player for anything so please don't take this as any sort of criticism...

Yes, it would be dope to be able to minimize to the tray without having the tray agent enabled. VLC is a mainstay on my box, so it would be nice to take it off my taskbar.
