Hide tray icon

[malinduta]

It would be very nice to have the option to hide the tray icon, or to start EG (on system startup) with no tray icon.
What do you say?

Nobody?

Why?

[malinduta]

For saving space near the clock.
EG starts by default (on system startup) without any window. You configure EG the way you want, make it start without tray icon and the remote is working (in background) without ANY user interface.

How will you open the EventGhost window, if there will need to change something?
How will the state indicated (instead of green, yellow or red icon)?

Start - Programs - EventGhost - EventGhost.lnk, or from install directory.

How will the state indicated (instead of green, yellow or red icon)?

I don`t know. For me, it`s not vital.

All I want is a command that allows me to start EG with no tray icon. I DO NOT want this option to be on by default.

Something like:

Code: Select all

EventGhost.exe -notrayicon

Which operating system you use?
If Windows XP or Windows 7, you can use the "Hide inactive icons" option.
You do not like it? If so, you probably have bad luck.
I doubt that here is someone who wants to satisfy your requirement.
Given that your request is so unique, I'm personally not interested to solve it.

Since it doesn't appear this'll be added to EventGhost, I devised my own solution:

Code: Select all

eg.Unbind("ProcessingChange", eg.taskBarIcon.OnProcessingChange)
eg.taskBarIcon.OnProcessingChange = lambda *dummyArgs: True
eg.Bind("ProcessingChange", eg.taskBarIcon.OnProcessingChange)
eg.taskBarIcon.RemoveIcon()

Add the above to a Python Script in Autostart, and you'll be good to go.
