Win 8 taskbar icon: Solution

Hi, as many people here, i also had a problem with StrokeIt icon permanently displaying in Windows 8 taskbar.
I found (by accident :) ) a solution which is suitable for me and i belive it could suit even others.

You just need a global action which minimizes window with command "Windows - minimize". If you start gesture that activates this command on StrokeIt icon in taskbar, then it minimizes it to tray. Usually the icon won´t show up again when Windows retarts but sometimes it does and you need to minimize it again.

Hope this help. forinti

haha, nice one!

Another way :

under win8

- use the standard start menu with http://classicshell.sourceforge.net/

- So you find in the start menu/start/ --- put here a shorcut for strokeit ---

- Edit this shorcut settings and set it to start minimized.

You sir are a lifesaver!!!! Love strokeit so much...

This no longer works on Windows 10.
