I made RBTray Vista/7 and x64 compatible, removed the application menu additions altogether, and fixed the small target on the minimize button with XP theming (that was not intentional BTW). It’s on my site and on the official RBTray SourceForge page as well (the original author, Nikolay, added me as an admin since he doesn’t have time to maintain it).

I like rbtray the best of all ‘to-tray’ aps. However it does not work with all windows and therefore I found myself using it practically not at all.

WinRoll does this and more, and is totally free and very small.

Very slick, I know there are plenty of apps I’ve wanted minimized to the system tray. This looks as easy as it gets.

[...] RBTray Minimizes Any App to Your System Tray [Featured Windows Download] Posted by news on Wednesday, November 12, 2008, 12:00 This news item was posted in Technology category and has 0 Comments so far. Windows only: Free, lightweight application RBTray minimizes any app to your system tray. Once it’s running, you can tray your windows in a couple of ways: You can either right-click the bottom-right corner of the minimize button to instantly send the app to the system tray, or you can right-click anywhere on the title bar and select Minimize in tray from the context menu (which also offers Always on top and a useless My size feature). The app doesn’t require any installation, so you can also toss it on your thumb drive and take it with you. Even better, RBTray used a meager 380KB of RAM on my system. RBTray is a free download, Windows only. For more alternatives, check out previously mentioned TrayEverything or Trayconizer. RBTray [via FreewareGenius] [...]

@David, and if you do send the program in to Samer, it would be great to make the whole minimize button right clickable instead of just the small corner. Otherwise, love this little app.

@David: can you remove the “My Size” option altogether and send me the modified version? I would appreciate it (and post it for download in the review).

@Anand: I actually looked at Power Menu last week. It adds transparecny and priority, but lacks the ability to right click on the minimize button to minimize, which personally makes me prefer RBTray.

Programmer makes some strange choices… Why the pixelhunting by having to click a corner? It uses rightclick so it could have been the whole button all the same. Also I agree the ‘my size’ function is strange. Idea for the program is nice though.

there is a similar utility called “power menu” which has some more options …. have been using it for a long time mainly for the always on top or minimize to tray feature…in that ine can also set the transparency of the window and its priority !!!

Downloaded this, converted to VS2008 and compiled it. The “My Size” option makes the window fit the desktop work area with a border of 1/35 at the sides and 1/28 at the top & bottom. For me it would be better to fit the whole screen so I may just change it to do that.

I use hotkeyP to do this.
You can in this software create a shortcut as wel.

Another similar one as RBTray is Tray It!
