Hi,

it would be a great idea to choose an option to put a LV icon on the taskbar when LV is minimized (when running a program), also try to eliminate the 2 windows when open an running a "vi", with one is too enought ...

Thanks !!!

Minimizing to the notification area (often called the "tray") is very custom behavior. There's no standard for it and there are already VIs which allow you to do this -

As for the double window, I agree with you, but I think it needs a separate idea. This doesn't always happen, but I don't know what the logic is behind whether this happens or not.

 

You can control this today by adding the line HideRootWindow=TRUE to your application's INI file, which is what I do, but unless you specify an explicit INI file to use in the build, LV keeps creating a new INI file without this line when you build the EXE. The idea would be to have this on by default. I'll let you create the new idea.
