Minimizing programs to system tray

Hello.

Recently I found urgent to have Thunderbird minimized to system tray. I mean – why do I have to fire it up once I ‘presume’ I got mail. Having it in taskbar is kind of uncool too. Solution is flexible and was totally easy to find. First of all – get you terminal client ready.

sudo apt-get install kdocker

This command will install nifty tool for minimizing apps. Start the software. I do that with Alt + F2 combination (and entering ‘kdocker’) but I’m sure it can be found somewhere under K menu too. Should be under ‘Utilities’.

Now simply click on the program you want to minimize. And yep, that’s it! Sorry for the long post but I didn’t feel like writing a 15 words one. Until next time. Oh and one more thing – it’s based to Kubuntu but it’s no problem to do that on other distros. Commands may vary but those are not too different.

Testing *taps the mic* testing..?

Hey everybody!

First things first. About me. I’m just a regular guy who likes reading, playing video games, spending time with friends, playing poker. Nothing unusual, right? Yes. So what’s the purpose of this blog? Uh, where should I begin. First of all I’m a Linux user (particularly – Kubuntu) and I’m quite a nice guy myself! So… I’ll be giving hints about how to do this or that on Linux, Kubuntu, KDE, etc. I’ll write a couple of how-to’s once in a while so check back, you might see something quite interesting here! I’ll start with Compiz + Emerald integration into KDE environment. I will write that one tomorrow… or maybe even today, not yet sure.

Oh, and sorry about my English, I’m not English native speaker myself.

See you, leave a comment if you pass by. Cheers!

Best regards,
T-Virus.
