Thundertray 0.7.6 Beta

[OPaul]

Thundertray is a "system tray launcher / minimize to system tray" tool for Mozilla Thunderbird. It hides Thunderbird when you minimize the main Thunderbird window or when you double click the Thundertray tray icon. Double clicking the icon again will re-show the main window. Thunderbird will be started automatically if the tray icon is double clicked when Thunderbird is not running. You can right click the Thundertray icon to see a menu with the available options at any time.

Wouldn't this have been better as a Mozilla Thunderbird addon .xpi, rather than a seperate program?

UPDATE:

Version 0.7.1

Changelog

0.6.1:

- Fix bug: Close New Mail window in Thunderbird, minimize Thunderbird and then

  restore it again with Thundertray would make Thunderbird show a weird window

  and hang.

 

0.7:

- Thunderbird can now be started in the background using the "launchhide"

  command-line option (this option was already available in 0.6 but previously

  didn't work right).

- Removed dedicated application icon (now just uses the TB-inactive icon) to

  reduce the executable size even more.

- Changed Thunderbird inactive hi-color icon from purple to blue.

- The Thundertray icon now reappears in the system tray after an Explorer crash.

- Various minor internal optimizations and safety improvements.

0.7.1:

- Fixed bug (0.7 only): When launching Thunderbird with the Thundertray icon,

  the main window would no longer be hidden automatically when minimized.

I could see one being made for FIREbird, but not thunder. Who wants an email one, come on.. .seriously.

[OPaul]

I do.

I leave my email client up and running all the time. It's nice to be able to free the memory and task bar space up while still being able to have my mail automatically check every 5 minutes. I don't understand why you would need it in Firebird, you can't browser the Internet while the program is minimized to the tray.

[~phoenix~]

More logical is to have your email client in the tray than your browser but maybe morpherex speaks for something like mozilla's future "keep mozilla in memory for better performance".Anyway this is the MOST discussed future in the mozillazine forums in the Thunderbird section and i have to say that works perfect.

[morpherex]

=/ I guess lol. I don't check my email often though, but yea... firebird takes a while to load, and keeping it in the memory like you said would make it quicker.

nice program

Thundertray 0.7.6 Beta

Major internal improvements

Fix: The "launchshow" command would no longer work (0.7.5 only)

Fix: Minimizing Thunderbird would not hide the window directly on Windows 9x/ME

Fix: Minimizing Thunderbird would not hide the window at all on some WinXP systems

Fix: The "launchhide" would sometimes start Thundertray in a visible state

Option "launchhide"

Fix: Some problems with "noicononshow"

Probably better starting Thundertray after starting Thunderbird
