We’ve just published version 1.05 of our minimizer application. If you had any trouble with the installation, please try the lastest vresion of TheBest Minimize to Tray.

When you’re working a lot with Microsoft Word and other programs, you may want to keep Word open all the time. Instead of closing, it would be nice if the program was minimized to the tray.

Well, you can do that with our program TheBest Minimize to Tray. SImply start Word, start our Tray software and create a new exception. Just tell the program that any application named “Word” shouldn’t be closed when you click on the X button, but minimized into the tray.

Easy. Give it a tr(a)y and minimize Word into the tray.

Today, we’ve released version 1.03 of our software TheBest Minimize to Tray.

There are little changes, only a minor bugfix for Vista. If you had troubles with the desktop icons, please get the new version.

We’re going gold: Version 1.0 of TheBest Minimize to Tray is out.

Now you can hide any application in the system tray. Manually with a mouse click or automatically if you don’t use the program. Get more space on your desktop!

Yes, it’s finally out. Our new little tool to minimize other programs to the system tray.

Why we wrote it? Because the world needs it, we think. Yes, there are already other programs out which do something similar, but they don’t work very well, are cumbersome to configure or lack features. At least we didn’t find any that we wanted to use ourselves.

And it IS really useful. Finally the taskbar is a bit more “clean” and the programs that currently aren’t needed, are minimized into the tray (shown as an icon next to the system clock).

Oh, and here’s the next revision for the “Minimization gnome”.

Another update for the tray icon:

Not much is posted here, as we’re quite busy with a new application. Can’t tell much yet, but it involves the system tray.

Here’s a design for the icon (first version):
