[Feature Request] Toggle taskbar icons

Open kalvinpearce opened this issue 3 years ago • 3 comments

Request:

Add an option for toggling the taskbar icon of an app. Similar to minimize to tray but doesn't minimize the window.

Further explanation:

This is a bit of a niche one but I think it fits this tool pretty well. I have a few apps that I leave open on my desktop but I don't really want them cluttering up my taskbar. I think it would be super handy to have an option to hide the taskbar icon (or move it into the tray instead). I think it fits nicely in combination with the Always on top feature to complete that popup feel for specified windows.

If it's the fact that you have too many apps pinned to the taskbar and other open apps make it cluttered, you could increase the height of the taskbar creating extra rows and then set it to auto-hide. You can also configure the taskbar to use smaller buttons which also free up space.

Its less about too many apps there and more about reducing visual clutter. For example in my work day I have many apps that I leave open small off to the side. Since they stay open it would be nice to not have to worry about their taskbar icons when jumping through windows.

It's doable for sure... ATM I'm working on YAFD v2.
