remove systray icon on Win7+

Hi,



I liked the systray icon in steam for years, it was practical and handy.



But it lost its usefulness since Win7.

Why?

• since the "blue" design update the icon does not show an download indication anymore
  
  (the pinned steam icon in the taskbar does this, even better and more OS integrated)
  
  
  


• nearly everything which you can get from an rightclick you can have in the jumplist too
  
  (except for the list of last started games)
  
  
  


• it looks very small these days
  
  (and it wont get much better, resolutions just go up and up and up)

So my Suggestion/Request would be to remove it on Win7 and later, plus add the list of last started games to the jumplist of the taskbar icon.

Why?

• better OS integration
  
  (use of already provided OS features and better consistency in terms of which app should show up in which place, steam is no system tool and the missplacement in the systray comes from winxp days in which space was sparse)
  
  
  


• remove of an redundant feature

What needs to be done:

• remove tray icon
  
  
  


• add an option to minimize to taskbar while clicking on the x in steam window
  
  (by default ON, you could argue now that it isn't very consistent to do the same on 2 window buttons, but actually most users do like to keep steam open all the time ^^)
  
  
  


• while installing steam, pin the steam icon to the taskbar
  
  (if not already done, i don't know)

have a nice day
