I have two suggestions:

1) When you minimize a window for the first time (e.g. it is unknown so far), i would really like to have the "Custom Name"-Dialog opened automatically. Some people won't like this, so i guess a switch in the options for this behaviour would be great.

2) Is it possible to set the custom icon automatically (e.g. first icon in the application's .exe-file) ? You can get the ProcessName via WinGet, but i guess we need to know the application's path, right (I have no idea for that )?

Hi Jaakon!
back from vacation. used the first warm days over here in germany for riding my motor bike



i will include this feature as a option into the next version. not everyone (including me) will use this feature as default, so it will be initially turned off.



well, basically this is already the default behaviour (look into source code line 466 ff):
Min2Tray retrieves the process name (i.e. "notepad.exe").
then it checks if the user has already set a (generic) custom icon for this app.
if none is set, it checks "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\notepad.exe" for the full app-path (AHK does not give the path of app back).
if nothing is found, Min2Tray recursively scans %A_WinDir% and %A_ProgramFiles% for "notepad.exe". if the exe is not found in there, Min2Tray falls back to the default icon.
if the program you minimized is installed in a differnt location (not %A_WinDir%="C:\Windows" or %A_ProgramFiles%="C:\Program Files") Min2Tray cannot find any suitable icon file.
there could even be more situations where no icon file can be found (i.e. no icon file within "appname.exe").

hope this helped a little bit...

one more maintainance release including one new feature: hotkey for setting the active window to always-on-top.

if you have any suggestions for new features, please contact me!

Junyx

p.s.: currently i use a slight transparency to indicate that a window is always-on-top.
i would like to use another effect for this, but i cannot find a better solution (i testet "WinSet, Region" but this didn't work as expected).
does anybody have an idea?!? ... nobody???

laptop users don't bother, you need at least a 3 button mouse to use this.

no, that's not exactly true.
you can operate Min2Tray completely without a mouse - just by using hotkeys.
this is often much more comfortable and faster than grabbing your mouse.

my 2 ct...

In order to run the program you must have a 3 button mouse plugged in. If not, at startup you will recieve an error message and it will close. While I do like the program..( i plugged in a mouse just for it, just for show though as i use the hotkeys), i wish it had an override to this little bug.
