Option to start Hedy only in taskbar and not window mode

in progress

I need an option to start Hedy in the taskbar without opening the app window. There should be a Windows Option to start minimized.

I tested it both on Windows and macOS. When starting a session from the tray icon on both platforms, it does not open the window for me. Do you see a different behavior?

Julian Pscheid I mean when setting hedy to autostart on login or boot, it always opens the hedy window. I just want it to be starting in the taskbar.
