I did it!! Built us a System Tray minimize feature in one long 18-hour session at the keyboard. 😆 So satisfying to see it working!!! Fully translated into all 23 languages!
[i]We're trayin'!!!![/i]
It only has "show" and "exit" functions right now, I'm not sure what other buttons we would need in there, but this is the more advanced version of a task tray thing and I set it up to accept images, so I'll get it super purple and extra beautiful soon.
Hard-coded it to all languages, I made sure the translations were 100% perfect on these, I might need to update all our other language strings though as apparently there are hundreds of improvements to be made there, I'll sort that out tomorrow. In particular things like Vietnamese capitalization need work, and I was translating phrases one-at-a-time previously and things probably don't make a whole lot of sense, using AI to give me proper translations [i]"in the context of a UI"[/i] are completely different than what I'm using, so I'll just redo them all (it's way faster to do it that way too).
I was considering putting in a 1-time screen that asks you if you want to close to tray (with it remembering your choice) but actually if you just know the toggle is there, it works pretty good. Maybe just having a button to tray-close it at the top of the UI would work even better... but it wouldn't be perfect symmetry so I might just go as far as developing us a borderless fancy UI or something... See I am using StarDock Curtains at home to make my computer all purple but you guys just have a regular bar on top --- I'll definitely need to make the top bar purple somehow. Another project for another day.
So right now I just downloaded the patch on a testbed account and it defaults to [i]'off'[/i], so in theory nothing will function any differently unless you go and turn this toggle on, then it will close to tray. I guess technically most of the pages on the settings screen (market, steamdb, news, etc) could be in that menu, so yea I'll probably have the menu gigantic by the next time you look at it. But I just got to the point where it's release-able so doing that now, going to bed and will get back at 'er in the morning. Try it out!! Let me know if there are any issues with it!
