Smart to tray, that would be usefull.

Yes, that would!

I've though of this too. I like it, but it's an improvement I can easily live without.

^^ Thats what that link is ;)

I'm using a program called TweakWindow v1.5

Not only does it minimize to system tray, but it has lots of other fun features.

Main features:

 Window enhancement:

- Transparent window. Through a transparent window, you can see the contents of the window that is below the one you are currently working with. With the "Transparent window" feature, you will save a lot of time you would otherwise spend on switching between windows. More info...

- Window always on top. You can make a window stay always on top and this window will be displayed above all other windows, when you are working with them. This will allow you to see the results in the work of a program even if you are currently working with another application that occupies the entire screen. If you want it, the window can be made transparent whenever you make it topmost. More info...

- Rollup window. Do you want to see a window on the screen so that it occupies as little space as possible? Use the Rollup window feature for minimizing the size of the window to the size of its title bar. More info...

- Ghost window . If you want to see the window on top, but it is large in size and you have to work with a window below it - make it a Ghost! A Ghost window stays on top of other windows, can be transparent and let mouse clicks THROUGH to a window below! More info...

- Minimizing a window into the system tray . A lot of programs (such as Microsoft Outlook Express, Windows Media Player and others) have no built-in feature for minimizing into the tray. These programs must be running all the time while you are working with the computer, but you use them only occasionally. Other programs may be used only infrequently, etc. All those programs occupy space on the taskbar and make it difficult to navigate between windows. More info... For example - Minimize Microsoft Outlook Express into an icon in the system tray.

Privacy protection:

- Hide window. Are you afraid to start some programs because someone may see you using them? Do you close programs and documents when you leave the computer because someone may see your confidential information or steal your ideas? Now you don't have to close all windows, when you leave the room - just hide them. Now you don't have to close a game or your browser when someone comes up to you - just hide them. More info...

- Chameleon feature. Do you avoid using the Autohide feature of the taskbar and all active programs are visible on your taskbar (that is, their icons and titles)? Do your colleagues look over your shoulder and tell your boss every time they see you surfing the Internet or playing games? Does your network administrator use some spyware to detect if there is any forbidden software running? With TweakWindow, you can change the title and the icon of any window. More info...

- Quickly minimizing into the tray / hiding a window without using the keyboard or moving the mouse . Do you need to quickly hide the window when somebody is coming up to your display? TweakWindow helps you solve these problems. More info...

MS Windows system enhancement:

- Moving a window by clicking and holding not its title bar, but any place on the window. Do you need to move a window when the pointer is far from its title bar? Do you have to get the pointer back to its previous position after you move a window? Are you disappointed at the fact that Microsoft has not implemented such a feature? Your problems are solved with TweakWindow! More info...

- Enhancing the "Move pointer to the default button in dialog boxes" system feature. Do you make use the useful "Move pointer to the default button in dialog boxes" system feature, but find it does not work in many of your applications? You do not know how to solve this problem, do you? We do! Use TweakWindow. More info...

Miscellaneous:

- The invisible mode for protecting your privacy; restoring all windows that are hidden and minimized into the tray with one click; selecting TweakWindow buttons displayed on the title bars of windows; moving the title bar buttons for compatibility with other applications; integration with the system menus of windows and other features. More info...

And you have tried this on both smart and SCAR, and it works?

I'm using Power Menu Version 1.5.1 that someone posted the link to in the other post about this. It works for sending SMART to tray, but don't use it to send SCAR to tray, use SCARs built in one [ctrl+m]. As it already has one built-in, when you send it to tray it ends up showing 2 accounts of scar from both programs.

Ctrl + M Crashed my SCAR. (When it is running a script)

Thats weird, I guess you could try sending it to tray with the program I mentioned and see how well it works.

well scar can already do it, and i know the java in SMART can be made to do it as well,
quite simple it seems, theres that java.awt.SystemTray and all that.
i heard benland is a bit busy these days, too bad its not open source, then we wouldnt have this problem.

edit: Iv realised this isnt necessarily a problem, just a possible feature
edit2: a system of plugins would also work

Not bad idea Yak, then people could do like "MyToTray.java" etc :)

Smart is not open source for the same reason Scar is not open source. Too easy to stick a virus in and sell it to people. :p

Hey Ben if you ever do put tray hiding it. Could you put it so you can name each Smart before sending it to tray. So when you mouse over it in tray it gives you the name. Because I'm using between 3-4 smarts on this computer always and it sometimes sucks trying to figure out which one goes to which smart. :D

You forgot that it's also easy to make a 5 minute rip-off with little knowledge of the program it's written in.
