Doesn't work

Doesn't appear to work. At least for me on windows 11. Tried the .yymps, .yyz, and the demo. All do the same thing, just minimize the game... No tray icon. Just minimized to the taskbar like a default window minimizing. Any ideas?

I am also on Windows 11. I re-downloaded the demo, and it works fine for me, correctly minimizing to the system tray. I have also used this plugin on at least four different computers recently without any issues.

Perhaps you could try the following steps:

  1. Post your system version and hardware specifications so we can compare.
  2. Test various related plugins by yellowafterlife. In theory, they are also created using Windows hooks, and there's no reason his would work while mine doesn't.
  3. Try running the game with administrator privileges.
  4. If you have access to another computer, test it there.

We can only figure out how to fix it once we identify the reason it's not working.
