Fraps is a universal Windows application that can be used with games using DirectX or OpenGL graphic technology. In its current form Fraps performs many tasks and can best be described as:
Benchmarking Software - Show how many Frames Per Second (FPS) you are getting in a corner of your screen. Perform custom benchmarks and measure the frame rate between any two points. Save the statistics out to disk and use them for your own reviews and applications.
Screen Capture Software - Take a screenshot with the press of a key! There's no need to paste into a paint program every time you want a new shot. Your screen captures are automatically named and timestamped.
Realtime Video Capture Software - Have you ever wanted to record video while playing your favourite game? Come join the Machinima revolution! Throw away the VCR, forget about using a DV cam, game recording has never been this easy! Fraps can capture audio and video up to 2560x1600 on dual-core CPUs (1152x864 single-core) at up to 100 frames per second!

Yeah, the thing with me not being able to close the taskbar window but still keep the program running in the tasktray is really bothering me. I always used the minimize to tasktray functionality before to be tidy. I think I'll roll back to 2.9.99 for a bit... ^_^
And the screenshot link shows the old UI.

- Added minimize to systray option for Win7 users
- Fixed video capture frame rate defaulting to 30 fps when Fraps loads
I found how to reset the window size now. But every time I restart the application the window shrinks again so the bug is still there for me. In registry HKCUSoftwareFraps3 there is an dword entry called "Window3", if I delete that entry it resets the window size to default on next start.
