Option to start in tray

[APT37]

Problem description

No response

Feature description

A command line parameter to instruct Heroic to start in tray instead of showing a window on launch.

Alternatives

None.

Additional information

This is useful for auto start in general, but especially on window managers that don't support minimized windows in the first place.

Additionally, all other game launchers I know of have this feature, I was surprised Heroic didn't - given how feature-rich it already is.

there's is an option in the settings that shows up if you enable the option to close to the tray

I think also the --fullscreen CLI flag produces a similar result

Okay, found the hidden option, now that you pointed how to to do so - though I think that the option should be visible even if 'Exit to System Tray' is not active, given they function independently anyway. I for one don't need if to close to the tray, so I wouldn't have discovered this option without you pointing it out.

yeah, I agree, I think in general we shouldn't hide options when they depend on something else, there are some cases where that makes sense and in other cases it can be confusing like this one

If an option depends on another, there should just be a hint to that. An option should be forcefully deactivated if it doesn't make sense without it's dependency being active, but still shown, imo.
