[request] Minimize to system trsy on right click of minimize button

[yotta]

hi, i was wondering if it would be possible to make a small app that would minimize any app to the system trayn when you right click the minimize button

yes i know taskswitch-xp does this, but it also makes alt-tab slower.

also clicking the system tray icon to restore

I think there are quite a few programs out there that do that.
TrayIt! comes to mind.

thanx! i thought someone here would know something, but i couldnt find it googling, so i thought id ask.

thnx again

something else in that direction - power menu

I use Alt+Spacebar + up arrow twice which sounds complicated but a lot quicker then finding minimise button with mouse, or i right click on prog in taskbar and select option -
it also does: always on top/transparency and change priority as well but I've never used those

with this minor ... whatsthatword?? - caveat!!

if you're single purpose tool, you can try this AHK-based tool: Min2Tray v1.7.7.

btw, another alternative is DM2. (formerly known as Dialog Mate).

alt+spacebar+up twice wouldnt be usefulto me as it would clash with launchy,

min2tray was exactly what i was looking for, but ill probably end up using DM2

thanks lanux!

RBTray does exactly that:

"RBTray allows you to minimize windows in the tray area on taskbar by clicking right mouse button on the window`s minimize/close box or from system menu or from window`s system menu. And to set any window in Always on top state from window`s system menu."

When using mouse, I prefer Pitaschio, where you can define for example wheel-click or right-click on the title bar to do this (or many others) operation.

When using keyboard, I suggest using HotkeyP or HotKeyz to define "minimize to tray" command to virtually any key combination or multimedia key.

rbtray!! its great, it does what it says on the tin. and only that. its also tiny with the process running at about 350k

Guys, is there a program that could minimise the windows not to the system tray but a seperate "tray" that is perhaps just beside the system tray? 

Iconic Tray has something similar where it places a button beside the system tray and you have to click this button and a dropdown menu opens containing a list of minimised windows.  Similar, but not exactly what i was looking for. 

My main complaint was that I couldn't easily distinguish a systray icon from a minimised window icon.
