RBTray Fork

RBTray by Benbuck, fork of RBTray , is a small Windows program that runs in the background and allows almost any window to be minimized to the system tray by:

Right-Clicking its minimize button Shift-Right-Clicking on its title bar Using the Windows-Alt-Down hotkey

To minimize a program to the system tray, you can use any of these methods:

Right-click with the mouse on the program's minimize button. Hold down a Shift key while right-clicking on the program's title bar. Pressing Control-Alt-Down on the keyboard (all at the same time). This should create an icon for the window in the system tray. To restore the program's window, single-click the program's icon in the tray. Alternatively, you can right-click on the tray icon which will bring up a popup menu, then select Restore Window.

In some cases, the first two methods cause problems with other software because of they way they integrate into Windows using a hook to intercept mouse events. In these cases, you can use the --no-hook option, which means that only the last method of using the Control-Alt-Down hotkey will work. Also in this case the RBHook.dll isn't needed since it only exists to support the mouse event hook.
